Thanks for your concern -- this is a new (refurbished) machine that I received about a month ago, and on which I installed the latest Ubuntu. I'm the SysAdmin on this machine, as well as the only developer -- my client is happy that I have complete control over this machine, installing any packages and modules that I think I need.
The only change to the system Perl I've made is to fix this problem in the debugger, since I use the debugger when I test. There's no development or staging environment -- the machine is 100% production, but with some tweaks I'm able to have scripts run in development mode. (This gives me an idea for a Lightning Talk. Hmm.)
The two CVEs listed in the node you mention are interesting, but they don't apply in my case. For the first CVE, I don't accept regexes from users; the eco-system I've set up has some CGIs, but they accept SKUs only, as entered by staff. Customers never see or have access to this server. And the second CVE only applies to Windows, so it's irrelevant.
