2. ActivePerl vs mod_perl: unable to open a file

 At using ActivePerl5.8.7 there isn't the problem with file opening, but at
using mod_perl2.0.2 it is:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
$path = "textdata.txt";
open FH, $path;
while(<FH>) {print}
close FH

 Why and how to solve the problem?

 Thanx.

You are using a relative path.  Use an absolute path, or figure out the 
path based on the location of the current script ($r->filename).
