Well then perl is a security hole. You should probably delete it.

It does do that. That was the whole problem in this thread. The bug that
Markus is stuck with is a bug in nsgmls, not in AxKit (modulo the problem
with relative URIs he's seeing).

Probably due to bugs. Contributions to fix this are always welcome, but
it may be harder than you first think. I don't know, as I'm not having
this problem. Also if you want something fixed, log it as a bug. We do go
through the bugs you know ;-)
