Hi,

I don't think you should be doing that, it doesn't sound very safe.

What do you need to do?

Looking to parse email. then do things based on the email with perl. The script to do this is not an issue again its the rights that are having issues.

It sounds like the 'file system security' that is in place on your system is working perfectly. Users can grant or deny other people access to their files. Only System Administrators (with the appropriate permissions) can bypass this file security. If you don't have permission to access a file then that should be that. Perl won't give you 'back-door' access to other people's files.

I hope that helps.

Run your script as the Administrator user, if you're sure it's not going to chew up your user's mailboxes and spit the bits out.
