CGI Password Protection Script

I am trying to set up a cgi password protection script, but have had many problems, the latest being that I cannot get the admin perl file to write the admuinistrator password text file. It simply comes up with "Cannot write the password.txt file. Please check your permission settings".

I have tried different permission settings, and 3 different free cgi supporting hosts, but to no avail.

The url of the site to get the script, called "Account Manager Lite", is http://cgi.elitehost.com/acctlite/

I would appreciate it if anyone could shed any light on what is going wrong,
