I need taintperl or suidperl to run my passwd program, anyone got a clue
why it runs outta memory compiling?  Check /usr/othersrc/public/perl*
to see the original preperator's comment on how it wouldn't work 4 him.

How else can I run a reasonably secure perl script?  Write a SUID wrapper
that [forks and] execs it?  Hmm maybe that question belongs in c.u.q but
anyway, I kinda need 2 know... Any1?
