I tried a few different applications this afternoon, including perl5, and
removed any hope of them using anything but seteuid() and they all worked
just fine.
To Mark, I think it would be appropriate to set the perl5 hints for 3.0 as
follows:
#
# Guesses at what will be needed after 2.2
*)
useshrplib='true'
so='so'
dlext='so'
usevfork='true'
usemymalloc='n'
d_dosuid='define'
;;
esac
I turned on useshrplib because it doesn't seem useful to me to statically
link against libperl if you're going to use a shared libc and co...
It might also be nice if a link is made from the libperl.so.4.4 in the
depths of /usr/local/lib/perl5 to /usr/local/lib/libperl.so.4.4. That
will make it easier for folks doing embedded perl.
(I'd also be inclined to set privlib=/usr/local/libdata/perl5, but I think
the above should be good for the average user, and the purists (myself
included) can use libdata :-)
