Hello Perry,
I don't know what Obsedian is but the error is a perl security
feature. When running setuid, that is the effective UID and real UID
don't match, perl runs in 'taint mode' which means no user
supplied/affected data can be used to affect anything outside the program.
I don't recall if it is manditory or not but I'm pretty sure it is.
Check out the perlsec(1) man page for all the details.
