[Mimedefang] Embedded perl

[Henrik Schmiediche]

Thanks... 

How can you test if a given implementation is safe?

Does Perl need to be compiled in any special way to enable embedded Perl to
work?

Sincerely,

   - Henrik

Faster startup time and much less memory use.

Because it's broken on some platforms.  It's fine on Linux,
mostly fine on Solaris 9, and all bets are off on other platforms.
