Ok, here's the code:

     $pos = strrpos ($adminurl, '/');
     if ($pos === false) {
         // only guessing ...
         $installdir = $_CONF['path_html'] . 'admin/install';
     } else {
         $installdir = $_CONF['path_html'] . substr ($adminurl, $pos + 1)
                     . '/install';
     }

     if (is_dir ($installdir)) {				[line 111]
         $insecure_msg .= '<p>You should really remove the install 
directory <b>$
         $insecure_msg .= ' Keeping it around would allow malicious 
users the ab$

         $secure = false;
     }

I don't know Perl, so I can't debug this.  Also, this has to do with the 
installation directory, which is odd, since GeekLog is already installed 
and otherwise working perfectly.
