executing a cgi Can't Post
HI,

I have linux Red Hat 6.2
I have a cgi that uses the system commands
such as:

system("cp /home/httpd/html/ts/$ce /home/httpd/html/ts/this.mpg");

the variable $ce has a name of a file
contained in /ts

When I execute the cgi from the
server it does not copy the file, but
when I run it like:
#perl chose-video.cgi
it works and it copies the file.

What Can I do?
Does someone Knows What is the problem
and how can I fix this?

Thanks a lot!!

Don't use system commands or backticks when you can just use modules!:

use File::Copy;
copy("file1","file2");
