I like this util, but I think it shouldn't be perl-specific. How about
if it used argv[0] to find out what it is called, and used that to launch
the real interpreter (whichever interpreter - perl, suidperl, ruby etc).
There's need to be a bit of security checking too (buffers, appropriate
paths and so on). Maybe a config file for things like ${PREFIX}?
