Ah!

I bet if we just untaint the data we read from the network, it should
work?

(I honestly have never used Perl's taint mode.  I think it would either
give me a false sense of security or get in my way, or both.  I'm just
paranoid as hell when I write code doing any input validation or system
calls or disk IO or database queries, etc.)

So I don't even know how to untaint stuff.  I'd take a patch!  :)
