Not able to log using log4perl

I am using this simple snippet of code to do the logging in my ipl. The issue here is when i try to run it from shell (iwperl yyy.ipl), it works fine and it even does logging in ****.log. but when i try using this same ipl from browser http://teamsite/iw-bin/yyy.ipl. it throws a software error. Can some tell me if this has to do anything with the permissions?...any kind of help is appreciated

TS Ver : 7.2.1
OS: Linux

code:

 
our $logger;
setlog("$iwhome/local/logs/****.log");
sub setlog {
    my $logfile = shift;
    my $log_conf = qq(
log4perl.rootLogger=DEBUG, LOGFILE
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE=Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.filename=$logfile
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.mode=append
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.layout=PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.layout.ConversionPattern  =\%d \%p > \%F{1}:\%L - \%m\%n
);
    Log::Log4perl->init(\$log_conf);
    $logger = Log::Log4perl->get_logger();
}

Thanks

Quite likely it is a permissions issue, what are the permissions on:

The directories will probably have to be 755 or 775 and the log file at the end will probably have to be 666 (not 664, nor 644)Depending on how the code is getting invoked you may have other issues to deal with - like are you using the iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi to get impersonation of the logged in user? Are you depending on any environment variables being in existence?, etc.

Thanks for the help adam ....it worked, All the time i was trying to give 0664 permission for that log file. I tried with 0666 and it works.
