Drat.  Perl screams bloody murder if you try to just set its SUID bit, 
which of course is dangerous as hell.

Grrrr.  I know there are patches out there that fix all of this.  I 
wonder why none of them (I've found two so far, and seem to think I've 
seen others as well) haven't ever been incorporated into the codebase.

This is far too much work for such a simple thing.
