This seems like local to your setup; other smokers does not seem to
suffer from it, and I cannot duplicate the behaviour. It could be
that the permission problem is specific to you, or IRIX is special
in some way.

This is already being done. Now we have to find out why it is not
the case for you.
It'll be great if you can provide access to the machine in question,
but if not, following information may be helpful:
- perl -V
- whether IPC::Run exists on your system or not
- details on what permission problem you had with which directory
- the flags you pass to cpansmoke
