suidperl howto

I know writting suid script is a very bad idea (and is not at all possible on linux for security reasons), but I need to do something like that. So writting a small wraper in C, or using suidperl might be a solution. The problem with suidperl is that I couldn't find any documentation about it anywhere.
After doing a few tests I could only get this error message: "suidperl needs fd script". Maybe I'm not using it correctly, but I can't find any doc anywhere about how to use it. No one seems to know how to use it on perl's irc channels I've been, and the only things I can find on google about it are security vulnerabilities so that doesn't seems to be a good idea to use that actually :) I don't want to waste too much time on this, and using sudo is probably a better idea after all so that's not really important, but that might be usefull in the futur, so if anyone find anything about suidperl, please tell me :)
