Alas, setuid (and maybe setgid) do not just "work" with my perl, which

Actually, it's an OS difference. I don't have a freebsd machine, so I
can't test exhaustively, but freebsd requires more hoop-jumping than
either linux or solaris, both of which are happy with the '$< = $> = foo'
form.
You might be thinking of 'safe setuid scripts', which is a compile-time
option that most people turn off.
