I am trying to write a web interface for an emboss program and run apache. The program complains that there is no HOME directory set.

A) Just put these at the top after your 'use CGI' ( whatever) statements.

   $ENV{HOME}=  i.e. /usr/local/apache
   $ENV{EMBOSS_DATA}=

These two are important, but you can also pass other "constants".
