Hi martymart,

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".

Hope this helps
