Thank you, Dave, that worked! I changed the original top line "#!/usr/bin/suidperl -T" to "#!/usr/bin/perl" and all e-mail is flowing as it should.
Following that change I googled further and managed to find that same resolution for Debian sarge (testing) at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=240687 with the folowing explanations:
"For security reasons you now may no longer invoke suidperl directly. All you need to do is change any instance of #!/usr/bin/suidperl to #!/usr/bin/perl ."
"Yes, there was a change in suidperl behaviour which prevents explicit invocation."
No wonder that qmail-scanner + e-mail stoppped working!
Thanks again, Dave,
Hendrik Schaink

Starting 2 days ago, on our Debian mail server (qmail + qmail-scanner + SpamAssassin) we appear unable to scan for viruses and spam following a maintenance upgrade to Perl 5.8.3-3. We receive this error message: "suidperl needs fd script". Googling did not yield any results. Can anyone help translate this message into any kind of perl requirement?
check your spamassissin and other perl scripts for #! lines that explicitly specify the 'suidperl' command and change it to just 'perl'.
looks like they changed it so that 'suidperl' is not to be invoked directly, instead the 'perl' executable will exec 'suidperl' if the
original script file is setuid.
