SPUG: Apache Madness!

[Aaron Salo]

from the command line, you are you.

from the webserver, you are nobody. or www. or some other non-privileged
user that cannot just have its way with a directory called BIN, I hope?

try this, if it doesn't work it will at least tell you why.

my $dir = 'F:/sea124/client/BIN/';
opendir(DIR, "$dir") or die "cannot open dir $dir - $!";
my @list = readdir(DIR) or die "cannot read dir = $!";
closedir(DIR);

foreach(@list) {print qq($_<br>\n);}

I've played with this quite a lot with no luck.
