Might be worth putting something like this into the script:

open( F, ">>/tmp/environment" );
foreach( sort keys( %ENV ) ) {
	print( F "$_ ${ENV{$_}}\n" );
}
print( F `id` );
close(F);

to compare with what your user has.

You can add things over to the environment if there's something
important missing.
