Hello specialists of Windows,

Doesn't the following code have a security hole on WIndows?

[global.cgi]
if ($^O eq 'MSWin32') {
        open(PIPE, "/usr/local/bin/global" . " --result=ctags-xid $flags
$pattern |");
} ...
[completion.cgi]
if ($^O eq 'MSWin32') {
        open(PIPE, "/usr/local/bin/global" . " -${flags}e $q |");
} ...

Though GNU GLOBAL does not support Windows, we need to get rid of dangerous
code.
Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Shigio
