I'm using LoadVariables with a perl cgi script. Is it true that the script has to be in the same directory as the html/swf? If so is there any way around this besides making a symbolic link in the server directory where the html/swf reside?

Thanks for any help,
Nathan

No this is not necessarity true - depending upon your server, you can configure CGI requests to use any directory you specify - in fact, that's *highly* recommended in order to maintain any kind of real security on the server. Usually, the executable scripts are relegated to a special directory with the appropriate permissions (usually execute-only).

I suggest you discuss the issue with your webmaster.

Thanks for your reply. I have another question just to clarify your meaning. Are you saying that its possible to make it so that all CGI requests are sent to one directory? (based on the .cgi suffix of the url I'm supposing?)
