I think the INCLUDE_PATH should be only 'MyUntaint'.  Its name isn't
clear that it's the package name prefix.

As a side note, it's occasionally safer and usually clearer to write
constructor calls as CGI->new() and CGI::Untaint->new( ).  Again, the
documentation of CGI::Untaint makes this a bit unclear.
