in thread suidperl not working?

Hmmm, very interesting.

Can't find hints/linux.sh on my system, so I guess I'll have to take your word for it, but I do believe you.

Now the question is, why is starting a script with 

#!/usr/bin/suidperl
instead of 
#!/usr/bin/perl
not recommended?

    If you download Perl from http://www.perl.com and unpack it, you will find the hints subdirectory just below the top level. Have you read perlsec (perldoc perlsec if you are using a Perl version later than 5.005_03)?

    Why not look into using sudo to accomplish your task?
