You can type the following command to find out:

    perl -MSafe -e 'print "$Safe::VERSION\n"'

If it says 2.09 then Safe is safe.  If it says 2.07 or earlier then
Safe is not safe.  I don't know about 2.08, but I believe it contains
the relevant patch.  If you have that version then you may as well
upgrade it anyway.

If you need to upgrade your Safe module then type the following:

    perl -MCPAN -e 'install Safe'
