in reply to building Perl: a few Configure questions
Read perlsec. Secure setuid scripts means the kernel invokes the setuid interpreter for the script with a filehandle to that script opened. It affects perl in its way to handle setuid scripts: read it from the special file descriptor, or complain. For more info on the underlying problem see also the hacking FAQ, question 8. Linux does not have secure setuid scripts; that kernel ignores the setuid bit on scripts.What does this mean? How do I discover if my OS supports these? How does this setting affect the resulting Perl?
