Converting any Perl program to run with taint checks is non-trivial. Why
do you need it to run that way? Couldn't you just use a wrapper instead?
Incoming mail is collected by a process running as nobody. When
storing the mail on the www server, the articles are stored in a
directory which should only be writeable by the www group. Under SunOS
4.x I used the setgid(getegid()); trick on the wrapper to prevent perl
from doing taint checking, but this does not work under Solaris.
