khim, are you seriously trying to claim that C is safer than Perl? Because that is, of course, demonstrably false.

And, no, that's not the definition of "unsafe" language. Unsafe languages tend to turn a tiny mistake by a programmer into a colossal security hole. While Perl suffers from many faults, this is certainly not one of them.
