  It was discovered that the 'new' constructor in the Digest module is
  vulnerable to an eval injection. An attacker could use this to execute
  arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-3597)
  
  It was discovered that Perl's 'x' string repeat operator is vulnerable

  arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-5195)
  
  Ryo Anazawa discovered that the CGI.pm module does not properly escape
  newlines in Set-Cookie or P3P (Platform for Privacy Preferences Project)
  headers. An attacker could use this to inject arbitrary headers into
  responses from applications that use CGI.pm. (CVE-2012-5526)";
