in thread "safe" perl cron environment?

Absolutely. The only real solution is encryption. There are systems with mandatory access controls that are "difficult" (read "hopefully impossible") for the admin to bypass, but these are primarily used on military computers.

    What happens if the only person with access to a set of files on one of these military systems gets run over by a bus?

    Presumably there will always be some person with the security role of ALL_ACCESS. Of course there may be someone else (with a gun) who reads the printed logs of what that person does... But still.. :-)
