The problem is that -T needs to be enabled so early in the invocation
process that by the time a "perl foo.pl" command sees the shebang line,
it's too late to set it. This also applies to the way .pl scripts are
invoked on DOSish systems through file type associations.
You can fix gthis by invoking it with "perl -T tainttest.pl" I don't know
how you'd reasonably do this with a file type association double click
unless you defined a new type, say .tpl.
This *shouldn't* apply to when a script is executed by a web server, as CGI
scripts of course should be. But maybe it does, on Windows; I'm just
surprised I never heard of it before. In which case the .tpl idea may be
the only way to go (ouch).
