I'd like to do things like create, read, and delete files in /var/mail owned by mail:mail. It'll (ideally) be called from within a perl module running under mod_perl.
Is there a best practice when performing operations as a system user from with perl in Apache? It seems suexec is quite restricted in what it can do, specifically it won't setuid to system users nor operate outside of a particular directory hierarchy. suidperl is apparently heavily deprecated (http://packages.debian.org/testing/perl/perl-suid.html).
