       This is new to me. Perl version? (5.8.6 I assume if you're on 10.4) Exact
       errors?
       
       I wonder if there's something odd about your configuration, because tainting
       should only be a factor if you're running as root. Also, I'm not sure
       where PATH is getting involved since exec() is getting passed an absolute
       filespec, unless I've missed a way it can get there without being validated.
       I do not claim to write bug-free code :)
