[Chicago-talk] chown inside a script

[Jay Strauss]

Thanks.

But I don't think that will work in my case, because I'm doing it from
a web page, I had to create an suid link to chown, to call from my
cgi.

Unless there is some way to do it from inside perl, but still change
ownership of file not owned by the webserver.

Thanks
Jay
