It looks to me that they are talking about code injection via AUTOLOAD
reference.

That's for sure.

I never intended Safe to be protection against hackers. It is meant
to provide for peace-of-mind when handing page modification capability 
out to relative tyros. Somehow it is quite comforting to me when

	system('rm -rf *') ;

doesn't run right off the bat....

I think it has been quite successful for the purpose intended.
