Well, you can always make myperlscript suid, or use a setuid
wrapper (in fact, you are now using cron to give you this
wrapper).
Otherwise, you could log the new usernames/passwords in a
file or database and create a new program that is called
from cron. The task of this program is to read the entries,
call myperlscript and delete the entries from
the file or database. If you use a file, make sure you
properly flock it when modifying it.
