Hello
I am a reasonably experienced amatuer with perl but, in spite of running through the forums I can not get past this message. Here is my set up (obviously changed slightly for security). I know that I must be doing something stupid but I can't see what.
config is set to 644
eauction.pl and the directory are set to 755
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# The name of your servers cgi-bin directory
   $config{'cgi_dir'}            = 'cgibin'; # Default for most servers
   
# The cgi-bin subdirectory where your eAuction.pl will be stored
   $config{'auction_dir'}      = 'eAuction161';
   
# The Path to a 'NON-WEBACCESSABLE' directory of your system
# Maybe you have to chmode it if you use your own setting

  $config{'get_path'}              = 1; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting  
  $config{'basepath'}              = '/secure/g/mysite.com/cgibin/eAuction161';

# You need to assign either a mail program or
# a mail host so e-mails can be sent out.
# Configure your MAIL PROGRAM

  $config{'get_mail'}            = 1; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting  
  $config{'mailprog'}            = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; # no additional options please
 
# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
 #  $config{'mailhost'}      = 'Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!!  You need to Login or Register!!
';    
 (I have tried with this line commented and uncommented)  
# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running with a real Web-Server
   $config{'web_server'}      = 1;

(cgibin is the correct directory for my host.)

If anybody can help I would be very grateful.
Best regards for the weekend

First, thanks for speed and interest.
