What is the problem with readParse?

I've been searching for "readParse vulnerability" all over the internet, and didn't find anything.

Why do you care? Read the documentation?

    Thank you for your response. I am asking because I have several millions lines of legacy perl code in cgi-bin, and I have to make sure there are no vulnerabilities.

    The code seems to do what it's supposed to, so functionality is not an issue.

    I need to know if there are any security concerns about readParse, because that would mean I need to locate all the occurences of readParse and replace them with something more secure.

    If readParse statements do not create vulnerabilities in the code, then I can leave them alone.
