I'd say this is a matter of trust. If manager^3 trusts other peoples' opinions more than of his own perl guru, well, anything you dig up is doomed not to be weighed anyway. Also, seeking an article that specifically debunks an arbirtatry remark about anything (in your case, about Perl's insecurity), I think, is not really a sufficient strategy by itself, because "fools ask questions that wise men cannot answer".
Following this, if I'd be confronted with "Perl is insecure" I'd answer "this is not true" without further explanations; if the other side would be then interested in a dialog, then definitely articles, examples, and documentations can be discussed. Or, simply put, now you are prepared to discuss articles with a reasonable person, and I'm saying that it might not necessarily be so.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
