in reply to EUID cannot be set

Your syntax for getting the variables is a bit odd. Shouldn't you be using something like this? 
sub DropPriv {
  my($uid, $groups) = @_;
  $) = $groups;
  $> = $uid;
  # ...
}

    You are right, I rewrote the relevant bits from memory and messed it up a bit - but in real life it looks like yours.
