i'm running ubuntu 8.10 on ibm T41, apache2, on my local
net, and getting a error message in the browser window
from my cgi script.

UTL::wopen) couldn't open
   [/home/moylan/www/cgi-bin/stuff/mbrmoy.log] for writing

permissions on the file in question are:
   --w--wx-wT 1 www-data www-data 19161 090625:1308 mbrmoy.log*

the same cgi script and supporting perl routines, running on
a remote server hosting my web site works fine -- no
problems.  the permissions on the same file are:

   --w--wx-wT 1 moylan moylan 2192 Jun 25 13:30 mbrmoy.log*

i haven't tried running this locally since i was running
red hat something or other in 2005 -- undoubtedly a mistake.

any thoughts as to what's causing the problem?

tia,
dan
