Subject:   What happened to setuid perl scripts?
Message-ID:  <20010509140107.R64464-100000@localhost>

I used to, even up through (early) 4.3-RC, be able to run setuid perl
scripts.  This past weekend, I remade world with 4.3-RELEASE.  I made NO
changes to /etc/make.conf or anything else.  Now, my setuid perl scripts
no longer work; they say "can't do setuid".

I read through /etc/defaults/make.conf and found the "ENABLE_SUIDPERL"
variable.  Sure enough, upon checking my
/etc/make.conf, I have "ENABLE_SUIDPERL=TRUE" in there.

Is there something I'm doing wrong here, or has suid-ness in perl been
irrevocably turned off, and there's nothing I can do about it?

TIA,
Donald
