What you were doing was guessing, ... In cases like those guessing is a waste of time if proper tools to tell one are already available. No I wasn't. I was offering my knowledge and experience that says: processes run from within a shell, inherit the same rights and permission as the shell has. Thus, as the process being run was a 6 line perl script that could not have changed it's permissions, if the OP has permissions to access the file from the command line, he will definitely have those same permissions when running that simple perl script from that same command line. Guaranteed! Thus, a concise, simple-to-do, guaranteed-conclusive, guaranteed-to-work-everywhere, mechanism of testing whether permissions are the issue, without the need to find, download, install and learn to use your "proper tool" that would not provide any more, nor better, nor more useful information.So please, take your belated, juvenile, defensive angst elsewhere and stop wasting our time.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
