[Mimedefang] Perl Question

Sorry this is off topic, but I know this is a good source of information for
relating topics.

I'll try and keep this simple.

I'm trying to write a perl script that will add new lines to a text file
(named.conf). The problem is that the text file is only writeable by
root, -rw-r--r-- 1 root other named.conf, and I need to be able to run it
remotely, say across a secure web port. Can this be done? I was reading that
in C, you can write a wrapper to do this, and that you can't do it with
scripts, but perl was an exception.

Any Ideas? Is this a bad idea?

Thanks,

Chad Stalvey
