Insecure dependency in eval at www.pl line 256

I am running perl4.036 (Prefer to use 5;-) under Irix 5.2.

I installed libwww0.40 under a user directory
with setenv LIBWWW_PERL set properly.
I then needed to run sys_socket_ph.c as per FAQ 4
of the INSTALL.txt. Following Fred Douglis's
suggestion and comparing to our sys/socket.h file
i changed my_socket.ph to read:

sub AF_INET { 2; }
sub PF_INET { 2; }
sub SOCK_DGRAM { 2; }
sub SOCK_STREAM { 1; }

I then ran:

get -e http://www.ics.uci.edu/WWWdocs/documents.menu.html
GET http://www.ics.uci.edu/WWWdocs/documents.menu.html HTTP/1.0
Insecure dependency in eval at /../www.pl line 256.

This tainting problem has been doging me for a month. I can
make
my own code secure but i cannot make & maintain every piece of
code i
download secure. Can anyone suggest why my system is preventing
me
from running insecure scripts? I cannot even use a perl -e in
an
Server Side Include Exec statement.

Any suggestions?

Thanks greg
