I'm using Debian GNU/Linux (Testing).  perl-suid comes in a separate
package and gets installed as /usr/bin/suidperl (in 5.6).

It would help if you in the configuration file explicitly asked for
the path for a suidperl.  And if not all programs should be suidpel,
you should ask for both paths.

There is no longer an option to use alternatives to point perl at
suidperl.  ... I could do it manually, but that would breake with an
upgrade.
