 Too late for "-T" option 
(X) The #! line (or local equivalent) in a Perl script contains the -T
option, but Perl was not invoked with -T in its command line.  This is
an error because, by the time Perl discovers a -T in a script, it's too
late to properly taint everything from the envi- ronment.  So Perl gives
up.  

If the Perl script is being executed as a command using the #!
mechanism (or its local equivalent), this error can usually be fixed by
editing the #! line so that the -T option is a part of Perl's first
argument: e.g. change "perl -n -T" to "perl -T -n".  

If the Perl script is being executed as "perl scriptname", then the -T
option must appear on the command line: "perl -T scriptname".  


HTH.

P.S. To Wayne: Sorry. I promise never to forget to list-reply again.
