there are no problems with the file permissions

If you are getting a permission denied error I am afraid that there is a problem with permissions, however probably not an obvious one.

Can you add the following code between the if -e and the open FH2 line and tell us the results.

        my @file_stat = stat "$users{$user}/MY_FILE";
        my @dir_stat =  stat "$users{$user}";
        printf("%d $users{$user}         -> 0%o %d %d\n", $>, $dir_sta
+t[2] & 07777, $dir_stat[4], $dir_stat[5]);
        printf("%d $users{$user}/MY_FILE -> 0%o %d %d\n", $>, $file_st
+at[2] & 07777, $file_stat[4], $file_stat[5]);

Update: tidied up code no functionality changed.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


No such thing as a small change
