Also, I imagine that we : can make suidperl a wrapper which explains the problem, and _also_ : provide it without setuid privilege (or just build it into suidperl, but : that'd mean getting dirty with the contrib code). If we go the wrapper route, we'd need to make sure that the wrapper doesn't introduce any new holes. I think that would make it harder to deal with than just enabling it. The POLA complaint could be answered by changing the suidperl man page. Hmmm, looks like there's not a separate man page for it, so maybe that isn't a good idea.
