Test::Taint helps (Score:1)
The last time I wrote taint-safe code, Test::Taint [cpan.org] was my friend.
The main problem I had retrofitting existing code to be taint-safe (not that I've had a lot of experience with it) was dealing with the disparity between the assumptions I was making and the assumptions the tainting infrastructure was making. It uncovered a few bugs, though.
