No idea.  Sounds like your perl suid emulation isn't working.  Maybe you
could try testing it with a simple, non-freeside suid script, or try using
suExec or mod_perl instead.

In the future, it would help if you would follow the instrucitons sent to
you when you signed up for the list and send ALL of the information
requested, including the Freeside version you are using.  In this case I
had to guess that you're using 1.3.1.
