[syslog-ng] Error: Insecure $ENV{PATH}

["Marcus Viní­cius S. Mendes"]

Hello,
I'm using a OpenSuse Linux 10.2 with kernel 2.6.18.2-34-default.

I have a script in perl (hupsyslog) that need to get an environment 
variable.
I'd gave permission of SUID to 'sperl' (that is a hard link to 
'suidperl') as the system says.
So now, I get this error message:

Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running setuid at /usr/local/ldm/bin/hupsyslog 
line 24.

The line 24 is as follows:

($os,$hostname,$version) = split(/ /,`uname -a`);

What can I do about this?
The system looks let the script not use environment variables.
Any hints?
