Windows permissions can be peculiar1, so it could be a problem with your security settings and such.

Nice theory, but either the OP is setting the permission explicitly, or he is inheriting them.

Were he setting them explicitly, we might assume that he might mention it.

If he is inheriting them, then creating a file within a subdirectory, will be subject to the same permissions as creating that directory within the CWD. Ie. If he can create the subdirectory, he'd be able to create a file within it.

Attributing this to "windows peculiar permissions" is ...

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

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

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.
