running scripts outside of cgi-bin (permission)

[MrBlobby]

I apologise in advance if this has already been posted!!

I am trying to run a perl cgi script (from the cgi-bin) which will in turn run a binary (outside of the cgi-bin and server root). The cgi script runs perfectly but the binary the cgi script calls will fails every time!!

This must be a permissions issue but I'm unsure of where to look in apache!!

The permissions for the file (and the directory the file resides in) are both rwxr-xr-x !!

Any help would be greatly received

I've sorted it now

- it was the environmental variables
