I am having problems using setuid perl scripts since my upgrade to 3.0.
I have lost the use of $< and $> variables.  When I try the following  
little test:
print "the id is ",(getpwuid($>)),"\n";
print "the id is ",(getpwuid($<)),"\n";

both respond with a blank.  It does work fine with a specific uid.
