in thread use Safe ; Any Thwarted Attacks?

A quick look at the perl bug site will give you several, including:

Safe reval bleeds local variable values

To be fair, I think that problem was both introduced and fixed between 5.8.0 and 5.8.1 and was never a problem in a released version (from memory).
