May I run wml from a setuid program? (It seems not)

In order to run from the Web server the update of HTML pages, I made a setuid
program so that wml can write files in a directory wehere the WWW user cannot.
But it fails:
Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running setuid at /local/lib/perl5/5.00503/Cwd.pm
line 82.
The programs sets the PATH before and all other Perl programs, besides WML,
can be launched that way. It seems WML play tricks with the PATH.
% wml --version
This is WML Version 1.7.1 (05-06-1999)
