write a setuid wrapper in c. i believe there's an example of this in the
perl cookbook. languages with a #! line can't be run setuid in many
unixes. there's a detailed explanation of why this is in the camel book
somewhere (has to do with the interpreter changing in between the time
the script is called and the interpreter is executed iirc).
