Wondering if any possible perl gurus out there can lend a hand.
I am trying to use $> to change the EUID of a perl script to a non priveleged user. This is to run an SSH command on a backup server, to make a new directory. For obvious reasons I do not want passwordless ssh setup for root. This is what I have atm:
$> = 10177;
print "Copying data over to backup.foo.com\n";
system "ssh backup.foo.com mkdir /backup/ns5/$date";
system "scp /usr/local/backup/* backup.foo.com:/backup/ns5/$date/";
print "K tx.\n";
exit 0;
It still seems to execute the ssh and scp commands as root. Is this because of the system call? Should I be using exec? Anyc lues would be nice. Googleing for $> is not very effective and I am perusing perlmonks atm but am not finding a whole lot yet. Thanks for any that help, and a nice fuck you and have a nice day to the whiners.

replace the flux capacitor, the phlogiston filter attachment has corrupted the pump array.

No self respecting penguin would use the word leet, let alone l337.
Thats because there's no such thing as a "self respecting penguin". Penguins suck. Fuck em.

Korthran, I guess this should tell you that none of these guys know perl.

RB - What are you talking about? You know full well that a boolean square root double nesting structure is completely unnecessary in this case. What he needs is a series of simple imbedded formulas based on basic quantum theory. MAKE SURE TO HAVE YOUR COMPUTER IN RADIANS!!! If not, the resulting algorithms in the flux capacitor will send you to 1357 Europe when the Black Plague was at its peak.
Have a nice day!

Personally, i used a boolean square root double nesting structure with a call to a parameters set that was defined in the global variable list.

It's a pre response to the people who would/will whine about how this is not a tech support forum etc etc.

Why did you feel it necessary to insert that last sentance?

Oh, I want to keep expect and SUID wrappers out of the picture unless they are the only way.
