Is Safe.pm unsafe?by crazyinsomniac (Prior) |

crazyinsomniac has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
How safe is Safe.pm?
Recently, deciding to do some improvements to RegexLab, I decided Safe be best employed, so I did a quick search on perlmonks and came accross
How to use LWP::Simpe inside a safe compartment? (unresolved - probably need to permit some network opcodes)
Now I come accross Safe.pm is not safe in which ask says By returning the right values from the safe compartment it's quite possibly to "break out" of it.and someone in the cb said the same thing (Safe isn't truly safe), so can somebody explain to me why/how? Code examples work best. P.S. I am aware of Safe::Hole. I did search perlmonks for previous discussion ask mentions that discuss the insecurity of Safe.pm, but turned up nothing.
