We're running it under Debian Wheezy (7.7) which is in an older Perl
5.14, but the Safe version is 2.29.  I vaguely recall I had to make some
relatively small changes, but I'm pretty sure it was nothing of the
scale of embedding an older Safe.  The problem might be elsewhere.  We
use Exim though, not Qmail.
