(OT?) php, system and perl IO

I've got an apache webserver using php.
php invokes a perl script using system().
Stdout is correctly brought back into the page,
however, the perl script is also trying to open for write
a file to the (server) system. The perl script also is trying
to create a file in /tmp and it fails with permission
problems. The permissions on /tmp are rwxrwxrwt.

I hope I'm missing something obvious. Does anyone
have any hints?
