in thread Failed System/Exec Call under Right Permission with CGI

This should tell you what permissions cgi scripts run as:
($name,$passwd,$uid,$gid,$quota,$comment,$gcos,$dir,$shell,$expire) = + getpwuid($>); print "Running as user $name (uid $uid)\n";
It is fairly common for cgi applications to run under a restricted user account.

    I usually do:

    print "$< - $> - $( - $)\n";
