When you do that, MacPerl does not recognize the -T at all, so that's why
you don't get a warning.  :)

It is complicated to explain (we tried to do it in the CGI Script chapter
of the book), but the bottom line is that you have to use the Taint Checks
menu item.  If you send the script to MacPerl through Apple events, you can
enable taint checks in the Apple events (I forget the syntax).  For CGI
Scripts, you can use the special CGI Script (Taint Check) extension on my
site.
