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.
