You also might want to consider using a c-wrapper. In this case a c-wrapper
is a c program that call's your perl script. You compile that program and
make the resulting executable setuid. This is a more secure (albeit slightly)
way to do setuid with perl (or any interpreted language for that matter). For
implementation details see 'perldoc perlsec' on your system.
