Recommendation: Do NOT put the "standard" (post version 5, for example.
That is the one that had the networking additions) on that system. There
exist versions with the primary "risky" functions removed yet still allow
report processing (example: taintperl).
The report processor on ANS Interlock, for example, is a "safety" PERL.
