That has nothing to do with Net::Server, it's a bug in the code
initially setting the variable used there.

I have no idea why tainting behaviour seems to have changed with perl
5.18 (perldelta doesn't mention anything), but the only place I hit this
problem was in spampd and there the variables were clearly tainted so I
don't consider it a regression. If you are using that, please upgrade to
the new version in AUR where I fixed those bugs.

For more information about tainting please take a look at perlsec[1].

CC'ing arch-general since this might be interesting to someone.
