I thin i've found a way to do it but i'm wondering if it is really good for the system resources.
If I chmod the dir 777, then create the file it works fine. THen I change it back to 755 and no one will notice. BUT the question now is how system friendly is this?
This will only be creating about 1 file in possible 10 directories so i'm pretty sure it won't be a big strain. So is it secure?
Anyone of you big UNIX techie guys care to help me out a little?

If you put the user perl is running as into a special group, then you chmod 771 the directory, and chgrp the directory to that special group.

doesn't that only work if you've got group or user write access to the files, in which case you wouldn't need to chmod it?

This is creating files
UNIX permissions only allow certain users to create files without chmoding them something else.
It's very weird.
When in doubt.. root
