Lines: 24

Hello,

I can't  get 'suid'ed  perl scripts  working on  FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 RELEASE.
I've  build  perl-4.036  on Interactive  UNIX-3.xx/4.0,  SCO-3.2.4.1  and
several Linuces. Only on FreeBSD, I get the message

    "Can't swap uid and euid."

if I invoke a script with the permissions 

    -rwsr-xr-x    1 root          106 Aug 27 15:55 x.pl*

Is there any help on this?

Thanks, Nora.
