I had problems with taint mode and Dancer2, is that related to this thread?

My problem is shown by using -T in this:
$ perl -T -Ilib t/001_base.t
1..1
not ok 1 - use CFOO::CBAR;
#   Failed test 'use CFOO::CBAR;'
#   at t/001_base.t line 5.
#     Tried to use 'CFOO::CBAR'.
#     Error:  Unable to load class for Logger component File: Insecure
dependency in require while running with -T switch at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.20.1/Dancer2/Core/App.pm line 165.
# BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/CFOO/CBAR.pm line 7.
# Compilation failed in require at t/001_base.t line 5.
# BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/001_base.t line 5.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 1.

This latter 609 suggests that the taint problem goes away when using
plackup/Starman. I will try to run the tests via plackup/Starman.

with taint mode. (Sawyer X)
