If changing permissions from 666 to 644 stops the script from writing to the file a second time then it has been created with the wrong user name. This can give you all sorts of implementation headaches down the line, as you are starting to see now. The normal user, for apache, is user nobody. I would suggest you use that user id to create all CGI record files that are to be written to or, a more robust idea, do not create these files at all. Instead allow the script to create the files it writes to if they go missing. This allows for fun things like files wandering off (it can happen) and makes your script more portable.
