Wow... maybe you two understand each other... In any case... guessing at what you're trying to say: I find it amazing you use the title "System Administrator". You haven't at all explained "how to secure perl". You've simply explained how to make a few system binaries unusable by most people, which really doesn't do much good other then cause problems for people who would have a reason to use them.
