Hi Gerald,
In anticipation of moving sites to other machines, I use the 
document root to set a basedirectory in any script.
This works fine except if the script is to be run from
an ssh session (then there is no document root).

eg. 
$BaseDir=$ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'};
$BaseDir=~ s#/web##;
Then I prefix any filename or directory in the script
with $BaseDir.
eg. $ImageDir="$BaseDir/images";
It keeps things nice and tidy.

On a RAQ2 the document root is 
/home/sites/sitexxx/web

Then $BaseDir would be set to 
"/home/sites/sitexxx"

Looking at your note above
(/home/sites/www.domain.com/)
It should work on a RAQ4 too.

I know it's after the horse has bolted, but should
be helpful for future scripts.

Paul
