This is a bug report for perl from david.Ingamells@mapscape.eu,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
When trying to run a perl program consisting of a .pl and a .pm
module where both files have the setuid bits set, I cannot tell perl
where to look for the .pm file. 

The use of 
use lib "$FindBin::Bin";

is declared to be tainted.

For both the -I and the -M options I get a warning like:

No -M allowed in suidperl.

the perlsec section on @INC documentation explicitly SAYS that I should use one of these
switches.

Please advise how I can get out of this Catch22!
