Looks like there's a few distributions out there that turn off setuid
support in perl by default.
To re-enable in as paranoid a mode as possible:
chown root:qmail /usr/bin/suidperl
chmod 4710 /usr/bin/suidperl
That will mean that only Qmail processes can take advantage of running
setuid perl scripts on your system. As it didn't support setuid perl scripts
before, this action won't break anything!
