I think we're safe:

msl at james:~/d/argon$ perl -wE 'open my $fh, "ls |" or die; print 
for (<$fh>)[0..2]'
argon
argon.d
argon.html
msl at james:~/d/argon$ rdmd --eval='try auto f = std.stdio.File("ls 
|", "r"); catch (Exception e) e.msg.writeln'
Cannot open file `ls |' in mode `r' (No such file or directory)
msl at james:~/d/argon$

Of course, if you can demonstrate a vulnerability, I'll certainly 
fix it.
