I've no idea what's happening (hey, I'm a C programmer), but I've hacked prune() to workaround this as follows:
<pre>
-use Scalar::Util qw(t>inted);
+use Scalar::Util qw(tainted);
-sub prune ($) { #{{{
+sub prune ($) {
my $file=shift;
unlink($file);
$dir = $1;
}
}
-} #}}}
-</pre>
\ No newline at end of file
+}
+</pre>
+
+> Old versions of perl are known to have bugs with taint checking.
+> I don't really support using ikiwiki with the perl 5.8.4 in debian
+> oldstable, and would recommend upgrading. --[[Joey]]
