Is there an alternate way to execute a php in cgi-bin so it can do a chmod() on site directories as the "owner"?
My approach was the only way I could think of. Given the obvious problem(s), it appears that it may not be a good choice.

I've got a cgi file in my cgi-bin folder that I'm calling with

My shared host just upgraded to my server to php5.2.0 and the function
doesn't work. I can't tell if the problem is a php5 or server
configuration [which may have changed during the upgrade] issue.
If I call the file as a URL directly, it works.
http://www.foo.org/cgi-bin/file.cgi?dir=/test&perms=0755
Check if the new configuration of PHP allows HTTP calls. Include,
require, fopen, etc are traditionally for local file-system files.
Obviously you're calling it via HTTP so you get the parsed output and
not the source code of the CGI script, but if your host has disabled URL
opens with PHP 5 then it would explain why it no longer works.
