If you execute a script, and the first line begins
with `#!/usr/bin/perl -w' (in case of a perl script) and the sript is
marked executable then the kernel executes it like:
exec("/usr/bin/perl", "perl", "-w", "script", NULL)
(It's not exact, just to point out that the setuid/setgid bit is
normally irrevelant on scripts)
See execve(2) for more.

If it's a `cgi' script, then you might need apache suexec.
If you have the ksh shell, try with suid_exec.
