Make security warnings in the Safe and Opcode modules more direct.
The current "no warranty" text warning against the use of Safe or
Opcode for "security purposes" is somewhat ambiguous. These modules
are not effective sandboxing mechanisms for evaluating untrusted
perl code and should not be used in that manner.
Safe and Opcode are, at best, hardening measures that could be used
in combination with operating system level sandboxing of the perl
interpreter.
