Okay, I understand now. You're trying to use setuid to get the web server to 
run BPC as the backuppc user. There are lots of different ways to make a web 
server run Perl as a specific user/group, and they don't all work.

If you're using Apache, the "SuexecUserGroup" config in your vhost can fix this 
(requires an optional module to be installed: 
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/suexec.html).

But in any case, your BackupPC configuration is fine, this is a web server 
configuration problem.

If you'd like a hand sorting out your web server config (and you're using 
either Apache or nginx). feel free to contact me off-list.
