Hi all, I'm new to this list; we'll actually I'm newly re-subscribed to the list after several months absence. I'm running MacPerl 5, and I'm implementing a series of templates and scripts to create a storefront.Everything seems to be working fine, but I can't open the template file for some reason. This script returns "" immediately if it can't open the template file; in this case "store.html". The line in question reads: print &Templates::FillTemplateFile("../templates/store.html", %vars); The script is in a directory called cgi-bin. The path to the store template is http://www.landrush.com/Tango/cgi-bin/templates/store.html While the path to the script "store.pl" is http://www.landrush.com/Tango/cgi-bin/store.pl So I can't understand why the file can't be opened. Is ../ a legitimate way to change directories in MacPerl? Also, How do I run scripts with swithches (like -w). I know that in UNIX you specify the swithches on the command line. How is this done in MacPerl? Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
