This is a more common problem and is usually easier to fix. By default
LARRDTMP is the "tmp" directory in the place where you installed Larrd.
You can either make that directory world writable, or change the
definition to point to a different directory that is world writable.

More specifically, the web server will run the CGI script as a user
with restricted permissions (e.g. nobody). That user needs to be
able to write to the directory which is defined as LARRDTMP. If you
wanted to avoid making that world writable, you might create a
"larrd" group (which includes the restricted user) and make it group
writable.

Cheers, Phil.
