on configuring perl to compile I get this message

Some sites have disabled setuid #! scripts because of a bug in the kernel
that prevents them from being secure.  If you are on such a system, the
setuid/setgid bits on scripts are currently useless.  It is possible for
perl(linux-36LA) to detect those bits and emulate setuid/setgid in a secure fash
ion until a better solution is devised for the kernel problem.

Do you want to do setuid/setgid emulation? [n]


I think this might be a problem.. I answered no.. wrapper used setuid/setgid to run 
and a different user/group.. right? so should there be emulation?
