Hello Nicolas, I just saw that a couple fixes were applied to maint-5.8 recently, OK, this year :-). Would it be possible that the following goes to maint-5.8 ? in perl.c in release 5.8.9, line 3727 is if (*suidscript) { should be if (*suidscript != 1) With this fix suidperl will work again. I know that the suidperl is removed from bleed. Just in case that there will be a 5.8.10 (maybe due to a security fix, ...) this little fix would also solve the suidperl problem. Bye RainerThread Next
