 * 
 * Be proud that perl(1) may proclaim:
 *   Setuid Perl scripts are safer than C programs ...
 * Do not abandon (deprecate) suidperl. Do not advocate C wrappers.
 * 
 * The flow was: perl starts, notices script is suid, execs suidperl with same
 * arguments; suidperl opens script, checks many things, sets itself with
 * right UID, execs perl with similar arguments but with script pre-opened on
 * /dev/fd/xxx; perl checks script is as should be and does work. This was
 * insecure: see perlsec(1) for many problems with this approach.
 * 
 * The "correct" flow should be: perl starts, opens script and notices it is
 * suid, checks many things, execs suidperl with similar arguments but with
 * script on /dev/fd/xxx; suidperl checks script and /dev/fd/xxx object are
 * same, checks arguments match #! line, sets itself with right UID, execs
 * perl with same arguments; perl checks many things and does work.
 * 
 * (Opening the script in perl instead of suidperl, we "lose" scripts that
 * are readable to the target UID but not to the invoker. Where did
 * unreadable scripts work anyway?)
 * 
 * For now, suidperl and perl are pretty much the same large and cumbersome
 * program, so suidperl can check its argument list (see comments elsewhere).

 * Use global(?), thread-local fdscript for easier checks.
