Note that "the shell" in this case is only problematic if your system default shell is bash. If your system default shell (/bin/sh) is something other than bash (for example, ash, dash, ksh, some vendor sh), in the case of this CVE you are likely safe. Still, it's a good idea to use Perl built-ins instead of shelling out.
