0001438: perl 5.12+ and/or modern distro and setuid script
Apparently perl 5.12 dropped suidperl support (packaged as suid-perl) and distros are starting to be more picky about setuid stuff.

We will need to implement a workaround. Here's what perlsec says:
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlsec.html#Security-Bugs [^]

Here are distro bugs for BackupPC which went through that process:
