Ray, This is because they are created by the "user" httpd - login as root and chown them to the user you want to be able to edit them with... you may even be abel to incorporate this into the perl script, I'm not on that side of the business though so I'm not sure.
A perl program to "chown" a directory to another user would have to run as that user or as root. If you're going to allow web access to a perl program running as root you'd better be pretty sure of your programming skills; if anyone can figure out how to overflow a buffer and drop out of the program they've got a shell with root privileges.
