Hi all,

this update fixes a security hole in suid-perl and now you cannot exec
it directly from /usr/bin/suidperl, u must call it from perl executable.
So to fix the problem with qmail-scanner u must edit the qmail-scanner's
configure script and replace suidperl with perl in the line where the
variable SUIDEPERL is defined (SUIDPERL="${SUIDPERL:-$dir/perl}").
That's the line 650 in qmail-scanner-1.21st.

This has fixed the problem for me.

Greetings
