Can't open CGI.pm for reading: 13

Yup, so in short: your CGI script is running as a user who has no
permission to read CGI.pm which means that perl can't open the module
to use it.


In httpd.conf both User and Group are apache by default, and I changed
it to root, nobody, ermeyers, and nothing seemed to matter. Nice
problem huh?

But does this make your script run as root (!!!), nobody, etc?
