Hi,
I've just compiled and installed perl 5.003 and SUID scripts aren't
working.  Any reason why it should work differently than 5.001?  Is there
any FreeBSD-specific patching that needs to be done (I just ftp'd it from
CPAN and compiled)? 

The move to 5.003, of course, was prompted by the recent CERT advisory.

If I have the following script set suid to root, it worked as expected
with 5.001, but with 5.003 _nothing_ happens (no error... nothing).

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print "\$<: $<\t\t\$>: $>\n";

Thanks,
---
