Being gentle.  Just thought host might provide some details.
I don't recall anyone ever reporting this particular error
before.  But google is your friend.. just google on the error
message and I found this:

http://www.brandonchecketts.com/archives/fix-for-centos-cant-do-setuid-cannot-exec-sperl

Looks like you might need to load another RPM. 

If I am reading the messages correctly, this means something
has an suid bit set which doesn't seem right for ampolish3.  It
doesn't have that bit set in my tree:

$ ls -l ampolish3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 joel users 7766 2007-01-08 02:38 ampolish3

and I don't see the string uid in that script.  Ralf wrote
that script so might have another thought but I am curious
if your permissions match on ampolish3.
