Is this on a windows or linux system? What user is your perl script running
as? My assumption would be that the user your perl script runs as does not
have permissions to write to the directory/file(s) that you wish to write
to, but that when you login to test it you login as root/admin and then you
are running as that priveledged user who can write to the directory/file(s).
To fix this, you will want to make sure that the directory you are writing
to has it's ownership set to allow for the perl script to write to it.
