Sorry, another follow up on my previous post:

    I cannot run the other program suid because it (the actuall program)
check what user is running it,
    and that will never be root. so, it needs to be called by root.

    Also, this is a perl program, so it calls perl. Does perl not need to
run as suid root, considering
    I'm actually running perl -w myprog.pl        ??

Thanks again.
