At first the line looked like "open (FILE,'file.dat');"
You're making a bad assumption there. You cannot rely on relative
path names to files like that if you have not yourself executed
a chdir() to change the default working directory. The current
working directory is not specified in the CGI standard.
but then I changed it to "open (FILE,'/user/file.dat');"....
I would not expect that to ever work. You need to use the
actual absolute pathname. Simply chopping off 'cgi-bin' to
convert cgi-bin/some/name' to '/some/name' is not the way
to get the actual name.
