Always look up errors in the perldiag manpage. Here's yours.
Insecure dependency in %s
(F) You tried to do something that the tainting mechanism didn't like. The
tainting mechanism is turned on when you're running setuid or setgid, or
when you specify -T to turn it on explicitly. The tainting mechanism labels
all data that's derived directly or indirectly from the user, who is
considered to be unworthy of your trust. If any such data is used in a
``dangerous'' operation, you get this error. See the perlsec manpage for
more information.
I'll speculate that your path is being supplied via a variable which has
not yet been 'untainted'. See the perlsec manpage to see how to do this.
[Basically, just convince Perl you're not letting the user work in any
place you don't want them to.]
