[MacPerl-WebCGI] replicating chmod command on a mac



Hi,

I am a newbie to this list so I hope that I wont get flamed for this 
simple question.  I have looked for a solution to my problem but none 
have been satisfactory.

I have a cgi that is restricted to the cgi-bin folder in Webstar. 
What I recently noticed is that if someone types in our domain name, 
cgi-bin, and the cgi name, they are able to by-pass the security 
feature that I created via the cgi.  Ex:

Type:
www.domainname.edu/cgi-bin/sec.cgi

Result:
cgi processes and creates the dynamic web page.

In unix, I know that you can create a read only privledge.  How do I 
replicate that feature?

Thanks for your assistance,
Tomer
