SUID script??

[richardrothwell]

I have a C program that runs as an SUID script. But I need to extend
this script to query a database first and I've since found out that
this cannot be done.

So I was wondering if Perl can be used to create an SUID script or will
Linux not run it??

You can do it by putting a C wrapper around your Perl script.
