o Info:
================
That script is used to open file '.dat'.

o Vulnerable Code:
================
..
23  [...]
24  $old = $query->param('olddat');
25  [...]
..
..
34  [...]
35  open (VF, "$olddat");
36  [...]
..

(24) At this line, the cgi param 'olddat' is associated to one database.
    This variable isn't checked by anyone matching, so you can open
    all file that you want. (35) At this line the script open the file 
that you had chosen. With pipe `|`
    is possible to execute arbitrary code on the shell.

o Proof of concept:
