Sorry for responding so late. I finally got around to doing wht you
suggested, and thought it was worth sending it to the mailing list, if only
for the record.
Basically, /usr/bin/perl, /usr/bin/perl5.8.X, and /usr/bin/suidperl are
all
hardlinks to the same thing, and /usr/bin/sperl5.8.X is

The most difficult part of my BackupPC install was indeed dealing with the
suid stuff
To avoid suidperl, you can put the cgi script in ~backuppc/public_html/ and
let Apache SuEXEC handle the suid stuff. The only difference should be that
the admin URL will now be

Suidperl should be owned by root and suid, perl should not. The point
