The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Nigel Kersten <address@concealed>]

I'm trying to put together a package installer for sympa for Mac OS  
X, and in the course of re-installing, I've noticed I had this error:

##################################
## You don't have suidperl installed.
## Suidperl is required to run WWSympa with SetUID.
#####################################################

From browsing around, this kind of line seems to be what the Perl  
people say about suidperl at the moment...

--------from Perl Changes 5.8---------
Note that the security scare is only relevant for those who  
arefoolish enough to build suidperl (which is now officially  
discouraged)
--------------------------------------

Is it really required? Apple aren't distributing perl with suidperl,  
and it seems like other vendors are stopping it too.
