I have recently read about the lack of security on Microsoft and 
Apple operating systems when using webserver software and have PERL 
services enabled. I cannot however, find any solution to the problem 
mentioned. Nor is their a workaround. The only solution is to disable 
(remove) PERL (perl.exe) which is not viable as these services are 
important. We have many NT (v3.51) servers running Netscape 1.13. 

The information is available on the bug at:
http://www.perl.com/perl/news/latro-announce.html

Any suggestions are welcome. Thnak You.
