I was adding something to $ENV{'PATH'}, but setting it explicitely to my "trusted" directories does not help:

Insecure dependency in `` while running with -T switch at /v/webserver/consensus/cgi-bin/interface.pl line 171.

Line 171 says:

$log = `/v/webserver/consensus/cgi-bin/conss_aln.pl $shellstring`;

But when using tainted mode, I get the error message above. Its reason is the '$shellstring', removing it from the line helps. But I can't start my external script anymore without the parameters stored in '$shellstring' ;-)
