Is it safe to start a script (especially a Perl script) from inetd ?
(by safe I mean that nobody can use the script to break my system)

If my script starts with #!, should I use '/path1/perl /path2/script'
or only '/path2/script' ?

What must I do to protect the script (signal handling, error
handling...) ?

Thanks for your help.
