Bruce, I THINK I solved the Perl Script issue. I added one more chown to the previously made /tools
I'm not sure but I hope it's a reasonable move. I checked and I am logged in as the suggest users. This fix did allow me to set the perl section back to the original. Here is the new Changes Logged in as root here...
