Getting this to work is dependant on your OS and is a compile-time
configuration option in Perl, so you should provide your OS as well as
_all_ the other information requested in the message you received when you
signed up for the list.

Perl setuid emulation isn't always included with prepackaged Perl (rpm or
deb or ports) and is often a separate package.

You need to verify that Perl's setuid emulation is working, and that the
files have the correct permissions.  Alternatively, you can use suExec or 
mod_perl.
