Whats the advantage of installing perl in a chroot tres? As far as I can tell, the way I have it set up, since the process is already running it won't need any other files to be inside the chroot, so even if it manages to do file io (Which I don't think is that hard, I wasn't under the impression Safe was that secure) the can't touch *anything*. If theres a perl install, they could put a trojan in there or something, since the original perl server needs to be run as a root to chroot/set rlimits/etc, they could break the chroot and unfun stuff like that.
