When running cvsweb in a setup with freebsd-4.9 and perl 5.8.3, I get
this error:

Insecure dependency in exec while running with -T switch at /usr/local/www/intrawww/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi line 2140.

removing -T from the first line in cvsweb.cgi fixes the problem:

- #!/usr/bin/perl -wT
+ #!/usr/bin/perl -w


I guess this is a work-around, and that there is a way to keep -T and
still have a working cvsweb, but I cannot figure out what that would
be, sorry... :)
