qmail-queue reads a mail message from descriptor 0. It then reads envelope
information from descriptor 1. It
places the message into the outgoing queue for future delivery by qmail-send.
perl can read descriptor 1, suidperl can read descriptor 1, perperl CANNOT read
descriptor 1.
maybe someone wants to tackle a patch to PersistentPerl to add this capability. I
know it's beyond me since both the perperl frontend and backend are in C.
