I am curious what relevance you think Safe has, and why you would consider a deprecated module mandatory?

Update: oh, maybe it is not deprecated.

Safe, while perhaps not the best example, does allow execution without the risk of your program `die`ing. I guess it's for the folks who have something against `eval`. ~Thomas~ I believe that the source code to life is written in Perl :-)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Um, no, eval prevents dieing, Safe prevents ops you don't allow (in theory) like exit, system, etc	[reply]

Safe can -- if (ab)used correctly -- prevent your program from `die`ing as well. ~Thomas~ I believe that the source code to life is written in Perl :-)	[reply] [d/l]
