Fellow monks;

I am not quite sure what to do here, but I released a new version of LaTeX::Encode and I started getting cpantesters failures. All failures occur on Perl 5.12 and below, and they are all taint-mode failures. Perl 5.14 and higher work fine.

The stack trace looks like this:

The error is again being raised from deep in the test suite, but I have other modules which properly work with use_ok here. What could be different here?
