here's the code from the /usr/bin/webalizer2.pl script that runs webalizer:

And here you found the EXACT bug, '' is NOT a string, thus
'$thepath/.htaccess' is always an invalid filename, in addition,
variable's aren't expanded in ''s

if (!-e "$thepath/.htaccess")

Would possibly do something, tho it's not totally sane either...
