I have been having problems installing suidperl 5.003 on my BSDI 2.1
server. After my first install, accepting all defaults, suid scripts
would not execute at all - after trying to run them, I would recieve
just a prompt with no error messages.
I later searched the archives of this newsgroups for similar problems,
and found a sample config.sh file, which is included below. After
installing using these defaults, I get the error message: "Can't swap
uid and euid." whenever I try to run suid scripts.
I have tried several install configurations trying to get suidperl to
work and have had no success. (The suidperl that was distributed with
BSDI seems to work fine, but it is not 5.003). Any help resolving this
problem would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
John

Yes, quite successfully.
Use the config.sh below as your Perl 5.003 configuration for BSD/OS
2.1. I
believe if you search the mailing list archives, you'll find this
previously
posted by me, too.
For the LWP library, where it does things like "require Socket" change
them to
"use Socket" and it should work just fine.
