How to write CGI-Perl to drive A:\

[Cle]

Hi the CGI-Perl experts.

I known how to write to a file from within CGI, and I could access
Drive A:\ from HTML codes , such as:

file://A:

My question for your help: PLease show me how to do this from a CGI
Perl script: http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/MyName/FileName.pl
?
I followed instruction from a book, but it did not help as you would,
I wish!

Thank

Hey, from Russia.

To run PL script, u must install Perl Interpritator (Active Perl 5...) and
Internet Server (may be Apache) and configurate it.
Download last version for this aplications! When restart your comp, and read
in your boot how to configurate Apache to working this Perl.

P.S.: Your will must to change CGI-BIN directory, and i'm strongli not
recomend A: or same on it )

I'm not sure where you are having the problem:
1. Accessing the A:\ drive from within your CGI Perl program? It's the
same as any other Perl program -- can you get that working?
2. Writing CGI programs in general? Are you able to run any CGI programs on
your server (do you have the webserver, Perl interpreter and CGI directory
properly defined)?
3. Are you trying to map the "/MyName/" to your A:\ drive? Set up an alias
in Apache or IIS.
