in thread An odd failure of setuid(0)

Oh, sorry. setuid() is from POSIX.pm.  I omitted the script header, which includes "use POSIX qw(setuid);"

I actually think maybe I shot myself in the foot here by trying to do setuid operations that were probably unnecessary since I was already running with setuid/setgid bits.  A case of overthinking the problem.

    Including all relevant parts of a script is always a good idea.. ;-)
