* Make the POSIX::setuid and POSIX::setgid to really call setuid()Garry T. Williams2000-11-011-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | and setgid() because they were just changing $< and $( which means only changing the real uid/gid, as opposed to changing both real and effective ids. (The alternative way could have been in POSIX.pm to change $> and $), too, but making a direct call to the C API feels cleaner.)
