Thank you Zaxo, for the reply.

However, my main concern is not to actually execute the commands, but to do so inadvertantly. For instance, if a field in the form collects an email address that is in turn used as a "reply to" and the form results are emailed to another, I do not want to open a window for the unkind people who may try to insert shell commands there to hack the site. The scope of the posted method is simply to gather the data from the form, do a limited validation of the data, and send it back to the calling script in the form of a hash_ref. The use of the form data is done within the calling script.
