I'm not sure it's a bug! See,
myldr has a pretty critical block between
TAINT and
NOTAINT macros. This means that people who rely on the environment for their Perl setup might have trouble running
static during installation... but I suspect that they're sort of screwed anyway, because
any other thing running in taint mode may similarly break!
Update: on second thought no doubt we can at least issue a warning at build time. Patch coming up...
Update II: Patch follows. Not 100% sure about the wording.

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).
