"A security hole has been discovered in Safe.pm. When a Safe compartment
has already been used, there's no guarantee that it's safe any longer,
because there's a way for code executed within the Safe compartment to
alter its operation mask. (Thus, programs that use a Safe compartment
only once aren't affected by this bug.)"

By default, the Perl module search order is "use lib, -I, PERL[5]LIB,
perl, site, vendor, other". This means that in OpenPKG both the modules
installed via CPAN shell (in "site" area) and the "perl-xxx" packages
(in "vendor" area) cannot override the (sometimes obsoleted) module
versions distributed with Perl (in "perl" area). Hence, we change
the search order to a more reasonable one for OpenPKG: "use lib, -I,
PERL[5]LIB, site, vendor, perl, other".

By default, the "vendor" area is not used, so Perl's installation
procedure forgot to create its top-level paths, too. In OpenPKG we use
the "vendor" area, so make sure it is created the same way the "site"
area is.

    under "Revision History" find "Fixed cross-site scripting bug
    reported by obscure" note attached to Version 2.94. A quick fix was
    introduced in 2.94. It was replaced by a more careful patch in 2.99.

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0615
    Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in start_form() of CGI.pm
    allows remote attackers to insert web script via a URL that is fed
    into the form's action parameter

This is a backport of the 2.99 patch for 2.81 which is the version
embedded with perl 5.8.0
