What you're missing is that the scripts themselves don't get executed, where
NT is concerned. They get read by your perl interpreter which runs them.
Thus, the only thing getting executed is your perl interprete (and some
Texans).
I believe setting the permissions for the admin-only scripts so that _only_
admins can _read_ them will solve the problem.
