+=head2 "Escaped" colons and relative paths in PATH
+
+On Unix systems, Perl treats any relative paths in the PATH environment
+variable as tainted when starting a new process.  Previously, it was
+allowing a backslash to escape a colon (unlike the OS), consequently
+allowing relative paths to be considered safe if the PATH was set to
+something like C</\:.>.  The check has been fixed to treat C<.> as tainted
+in that example.
