If you check 'perl -h' you'll see:
  -U                allow unsafe operations

If I remember correctly some functions got deprecated and changed in the newer Perl versions, the -U is only needed till the actual code that causes the problem is updated.
I think this was a discussion about running MS on an 'enterprise' distro as opposed to a more bleeding edge one too, although I think the latest enterprise distro's will have the problematic Perl version as well. (They already do or they will in the near future).

I'm not 100% sure about the above because it's been a while :-)
