Hey Kurt,

Did you ever run the test script I sent? Lincoln has suggested that I
post this error with module interaction inside of Safe compartments to
the core perl developers. It sounds like I can use you as an example of
someone on another platform who is experiencing similar behavior. It
would help if you could confirm that the script I sent works for all but
the last case.

BTW, I tried using a workaround for File::Spec inside of CGI::Carp and
still had the same problems (I was still trying to use a module; just a
different one--File::Basename). I think it's an issue with the
implementation of exception handling in Perl and Safe.

Thanks,
William
