[please CC replies to me, I'm not subscribed to -questions]

I searched the archives and found this problem brought up already,
but there wasn't any resolution.

So, why don't suid root Perl scripts work with 5.003, and is there
a known fix (other than the C wrapper I'm currently forced to use)?

It's pissing me off to have to use a C wrapper to get it to work.

Thanks...
