Web-based adduser ideas (2)

A couple more comments to give you a better idea of my situation:

I am currently using a CGI script (written in Perl) that executes (via
system()) a compiled setuid (root) wrapper program that in turn executes my
system's main adduser script (written in Perl).

Half way through the adduser Perl script, I get the following error:

Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running setuid at /usr/sbin/adduser line 271.

I assume this is a DU system error or a Perl error message, as there's no
similar error message in the Perl code itself. Line 271 opens a read pipe
to the /etc/passwd file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
