I am trying to execute a perl script from html. However this is to be executed by a certain user and the script also updates files in the system. Is there a was I can do a chuser and set the s-bit.
--As for the rest, it is mine.
On yourself, or on other files?
On other files you can use the 'chown' and 'chmod' functions, using a command-line like syntax. (Check perlmod for exact syntax.) Of course, you have to have permission to do that.
I'd worry about being able to set set-uid files over a browser interface though, or even update them. That's just playing with fire...
