Perl CGI to access / edit "root" owned config files
I am trying to write a CGI program which accesses UNIX configuration files and changes them as required.

The thing is, I don't want the CGI program to be "root" owned - it's Perl based! Is there any way that the Perl CGI program can request a username and password - and then use this to manipulate the config files?

Thanks!
