I understand how su & sudo work.
My requirement is to be able to switch users from within the perl script, so that specific actions/commands are performed under the required account. I do not want to ssh as the required user. I need to make the connection to the box as a specific user and then run the script (or parts of it) as a different user.
I do not want to use a wrapper script or any other external method, surely there must be a way to switch users from within the script itself. I will have a subsequent requirement where I want to switch to different users multiple times so I want to be able to do it only from within the script itself.
Thanks

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
