Never use a Perl script when you are not
sure what it does or if from a source you are unsure of. Make sure
you thoroughly review, or have an expert review, all the code of
all scripts before running them - this way you can make sure they
do what they are supposed to and do not compromise your web site
in any way.
Additionally, Perl scripts have become a leading target for hackers. To avoid having your site hacked by an exploit in your script, make sure you always have the latest version installed as the updates become available. Many script authors will have mailing lists you can subscribe to that will notify you of new versions.
