While trying to use Archive::Zip under modperl with -T, I ran into taint problems using addTree.   In particular, I get the following error when trying to to an addTree:

Insecure dependency in chdir while running with -T switch at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Archive/Zip.pm line 1088.

This happens even when passing a hardcoded path to addTree like 
$zip->addDirectory("foo");
$zip->addTree("/tmp/bar", "foo/bar");

The module developer no longer works in Perl and so suggested I post on perlmonks for someone to latch on to fixing it.   Ned (the author) said to email him with a fix if there is one at ned@bike-nomad.com, and he will incorporate it into the module.
