Ken, CWD.pm, has always suffered from taint problems. This problem has
been fixed in the bleadperl, try this patch:
--- /tmp/Cwd.pm Sun Apr 28 11:44:38 2002
+++ /home/stas/perl.org/perl-5.6.1/lib/Cwd.pm Fri Sep 14 17:09:10 2001

# The 'natural and safe form' for UNIX (pwd may be setuid root)
sub _backtick_pwd {
- local @ENV{qw(PATH IFS CDPATH ENV BASH_ENV)};
my $cwd = `pwd`;
# `pwd` may fail e.g. if the disk is full
chomp($cwd) if defined $cwd;
and if it works for you consider submitting it to Sarathy for 5.6.2.
