The problem isn't setuid Perl it's that suid forces taintmode on. Read all
available docs on taintmode.
In particular start with Lincoln Stein's Web security FAQ at the
www.w3c.org website... and re-read perldoc perlsec as you've stated you've
done, but this time pay attention to the taintmode
Is anyone interested in doing a volunteer project for
www.selfhelpmagazine.com with me? This is a project that involves a
SQL database which I have zero experience with but have bought the
Programming the Perl DBI book.

$search = new WWW::Search ($se{$searchengine });

When you write
$searchengine = $q-> param("$se{searchengine}");
%se = { "av" => "AltaVista",
"yh" => "Yahoo",
"gg" => "Google"};
... why do you define %se after you have used it, instead of before? Why do
you redefine it on every call to the subroutine? Why
Dear List,
I'm quite a beginner to Perl (it's going to be almost
2 mths).I've written the following codes and I can't

their search engine for search. Pls correct me since
