Path problem

rajiv07

Hi to all,

I am running a perl script under Windows 2003 IIS 6.0 server.In my script i try to read a html file.For that i have use the relative path

my $file="../templates/myfile.html";

But it says the file is not exist,which is existing.But when i use absolute path
(my $file="C:/Inetpub//cgi-bin/elearning/templates/myfile.html";) its working fine.

my wondering is that how do i do that path setting.

Thanks
Rajiv

I am not sure I follow what you are asking. Can you elaborate? Also, what directory are you launching the html file from?

I got the solution.The problem is the working directory is c:/inutpub/cgi-bin/ but the perl scripts are in c:/inutpub/cgi-bin/elearning/query/ so if i call '../templates/myfile.html' it check in c:/inutpub/templates/myfile.html which is not there.so it simply gives error.
we can findout the working directory using getpwd() function
