absolutely!

In your CGI script, you should reference the document root
directory  
-- preferably by using an environement variable like $ENV 
 (which may come from Apache's mod_perl).

Add a:   print '<p>$ENV &rarr; ' .
$ENV 
 . "</p>n";
to see what this might be on your system.  (Replace
'&rarr;' with  
'=&gt;' if you prefer)

Note that not all web servers give you a way to determine
the  
absolute location of the DOCUMENT_ROOT.
