I am doing a web site for automatic creation of mailing lists.  It is 
not in PERL so sharing it won't
help much.  But I have two cron jobs to deal with permission issues. 
 The web pages are all
run under one user id.  The things that have to be done as majordom are 
queued to be done by a
cron job that runs every minute.  Then I have a root cron job that only 
runs newaliases (after
copying an editted copy of aliases.majordomo)   If I was working in PERL 
I probably wouldn't
need the majordom cron job.  You can probably have your cgi scripts 
invoke wrapper to run
the scripts to do the things that have to be done by majordom.  For the 
language I am using I
found that I couldn't use wrapper.  I suspect the language interpretter 
can't deal with a parent and
a child process on the same virtual terminal.
