The latest DBI taints the data coming from a database, and
if you're using
that in your very dangerous command, it is rightfully
protecting you
from shooting yourself in the foot.

In other words, you've been lucky up to this point, and
finally one
more hole has been closed.

Look into Email::Send in the CPAN to replace your
command-line mail
invocation.
