Perl and privileged vs. nonprivileged users

[Brian Schenkenberger, VAXman-]

Another question concerning the Excel::Writer::XLSX.

If I run my program under the SYSTEM account, it completes successfully and
quietly. However, using a nonprivileged account, it completes successfully
but output:

/sys$scratch/reLOKmPhRU/Content_Types.xml [Content_Types].xml
/sys$scratch/reLOKmPhRU/docProps/app.xml docProps/app.xml
/sys$scratch/reLOKmPhRU/docProps/core.xml docProps/core.xml
/sys$scratch/reLOKmPhRU/xl/styles.xml xl/styles.xml
/sys$scratch/reLOKmPhRU/xl/workbook.xml xl/workbook.xml
/sys$scratch/reLOKmPhRU/xl/drawings/drawing1.xml xl/drawings/drawing1.xml
/sys$scratch/reLOKmPhRU/xl/drawings/_rels/drawing1.xml.rels xl/drawings/_rels/d
rawing1.xml.rels
/sys$scratch/reLOKmPhRU/xl/media/image1.png xl/media/image1.png
/sys$scratch/reLOKmPhRU/xl/theme/theme1.xml xl/theme/theme1.xml
/sys$scratch/reLOKmPhRU/xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml
/sys$scratch/reLOKmPhRU/xl/worksheets/_rels/sheet1.xml.rels xl/worksheets/_rels
/sheet1.xml.rels
/sys$scratch/reLOKmPhRU/xl/_rels/workbook.xml.rels xl/_rels/workbook.xml.rels
/sys$scratch/reLOKmPhRU/_rels/.rels _rels/.rels

I could define SYS$OUTPUT to NL: but then, any legitimate errors would go
unnoticed. Why does Perl output what appears to be the translation of the
VMS path to the .XLSX file's contents if the user is not privileged?

Nevermind. The idiot that installed everything I told them to install did
NOT execute the Perl startup to redefine the PERL_ROOT logical systemwide.
I, of course, had it defined in the SYSTEM accounts process because I was
doing testing of the latest Perl.

Sorry for wasting your time.
