Getting around PHP safe mode - GoFuckYourself.com

I'm on a virtual hosting plan with PHP safe mode enabled.
I have a few scripts I need to run that need safe mode disbabled.
How can I copy files and create new directories with something other than PHP?

Perl is your friend.

Ugh... I suppose I could attempt to learn some Perl.
How easy would it be to integrate a few lines of Perl into a PHP page.
I have certain aspects of my PHP script that do work (like inserting info into a database) so I don't want to re-write the whole script in Perl. Just need to mkdir, chmod and copy.

im thinking you are on a plesk server, its using safemode too and it sucks, you need to ask your provider to disable it with placing a file vhost.conf in the conf directory with the follow info:

Code:

<Directory "/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/DOMAIN/httpdocs">
 php_admin_value safe_mode off
 php_admin_value open_basedir "/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts:/tmp"
</Directory>

yes, i am on a plesk server.
i used to have safe mode disabled, but then they switched my box and now it's enabled.
i've emailed them to disable it, so we'll see what they say...
