I'm not sure what's happened on -internals, but early on in
perl6-language I suggested something similar, and Larry dropped some
major knowledge on me about tainting:

I'd advise everyone read the above. Adding a $TAINT
variable/pragma/whatever is, basically, a Bad Idea. There's already
$fh->untaint
a per-filehandle OO untainting mechanism, as Tom shows here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/perl6-language@perl.org/msg00442.html
This may remain the best solution, judging by Larry's remarks.
