simply giving suid root to a perl script won't work. you have to use a
wrapper written in c that would call you perl script... this is the one
having suid root
here's a simple code to do that
main(ac,av)
int *ac;
char **av;
{
execv("/path/to/your/perl/script.pl",av);
}
compile this, rename it to .cgi then use as usual.
DISCLAIMER :
cgi's with suid root are security hazards. take caution in using them.
