This really looks like a perl bug to me:
use use Scalar::Util qw(tainted);
print "\$base is ",tainted($base) ? "" : "not ","tainted\n";
my $url = "$base/index.html";
print "\$url is ",tainted($url) ? "" : "not ","tainted\n";
print get($url);
___OUTPUT___
$base is not tainted
$url is not tainted
Insecure dependency in connect while running with -T switch at /usr/li
+b/perl/5.8/IO/Socket.pm line 114.
While it works if you set $base to some hard-coded value...
Update:
I also upgraded (from 5.8.0 to 5.8.3) so can anyone confirm if this also happens with a "clean" perl 5.8.3 + install ?

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).

are good places to start.
