Set-id scripts in general don't work. Set-id perl scripts work if you
have perl-suid installed, but beware; this is unsupported upstream and
liable to go away. See perlsec(1) and perl58delta(1) (the latter on
unstable, anyway; the text is in perldelta(1) on testing and missing on
stable).
It's better to write a small C program to do the job.
