Description Denis Kaganovich 2010-03-11 13:21:14 UTC

dev-lang/perl-5.10.1 unmotivated lost "perlsuid" useflag. After simple copying suitable parts form 5.88 ebuild suid starts to work (cgi's under apache working again).

Reproducible: Always

We are a bit faster than upstream:

| +ewarn "You have enabled Perl's suid compile. Please"
| +ewarn "read http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.8/INSTALL#suidperl"

http://search.cpan.org/~shay/perl-5.11.5/INSTALL#suidperl

So motivation was: It's marked deprecated and removed in the next version upstream anyway.

Good riddance and no point in sticking it back ;)
