Running PERL as root

[Bill Pierson]

I have a quick question about running a perl program as root via CGI.
I would assume it's platform dependant, and in my situation I have Linux
Redhat 7.1 w/Apache 1.3.19 webserver.

This question is a little off-topic, however I'm guessing that a few of you
may have tackled this issue before.

Thanks again,
