Hmm, I have the latest RH 7.3 updates and am not able to run the above
command. Get this error:
[root at titan root]# perl -MCPAN -e 'install Safe'
Can't locate object method "install" via package "Safe" (perhaps you
forgot to load "Safe"?) at -e line 1.
[root at titan root]# perl -v
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i386-linux
Looks like I also have the unsafe Safe. ;)
[root at titan root]# perl -MSafe -e 'print "$Safe::VERSION\n"'
2.06
I also looked to make sure Safe was there and it is installed in the
following INC paths:

Running kernel 2.4.20-18.7 on Athlon. As per Mike, I'm not going to be
running any 'public' access into the admin portion, so it sounds like
I'll be reasonably safe. However, the paranoid in me is still curious.
Any suggestions? Manual build of Safe maybe?
TIA,
