zentara has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi, I saw this in the Perl Weekly Newsletter this morning.... Cygwin author claims security problems in Perl 5.16
I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

He said:
"I've got practical and conceptual problems with perl 5.16, so 5.14 it will be stable for the time being, at least until 5.16.1 will come out. But it looks like only 5.18 will have inherent security problems with binary names in 5.16 fixed. I consider using 5.16 too risky. (not only on windows)."
Can anyone explain what this is about?
