Did you read the FAQ? It states perl has to run setuid.  I'm running
current CentOS and its perl-5.8.8 still has setuid capabilities. If that
isn't an option, then you'll have to do as the documentation suggests
and run a setuid "wrapper" around the perl script - in fact it's in the
./contrib dir

Low volume could be because it does what it does and there are no
outstanding bugs.

            This error appears consistently as a problem for at least
            the last ten years on the forums and boards in various
            places.&nbsp; I have tried making sure that qscand is running
            clamd and has ownership rights and so on.&nbsp; However, I think
            this problem might be related to perl not running in setuid
            mode.&nbsp; Apparently, setuid support has been discontinued in
            perl.<br>
