I've observed some strange "taint" mode complaints with perl 5.8.7  
and TT with cached pages.  Some pages fail with taint errors when  
writing the cache file while others don't.  No rhyme nor reason as to  
why.

That's on MacOS 10.4.

I haven't had any problems with perl 5.8.7 on FreeBSD 4.11.  See  
http://www.filterpoint.com/ and click around. Pages ending in .ttml  
are dynamically run thru TT while the .html pages are statically run  
thru TT.
