File::Copy using real user
I have a script that needs to run as root (sudo). However, it needs to copy a file to a network mounted directory to which the running user has R/W access but not root. How do I use 'copy' as the underlying user rather than root? TIA.

...Are you sure root doesn't have access? Because last I checked root had de facto access to everything.

Not necessarily when it is a network mounted file system. The local root would not necessarily have R/W access but a network authenticated user would. I think I can do it with 'su' if I can figure out how to get the invoking uid. Both '$<' and '$>' return 0.
