Summary of updates:

• Added a 2024+ exploitation section showing how CVE-2024-4577 PHP-CGI argument injection can be used to force-load perl.so/perl.dll, bypassing disable_functions and open_basedir, with an end-to-end HTTP PoC tailored for Windows/XAMPP-style stacks.
• Clarified the need to place the DLL/SO inside the allowed base directory when open_basedir is enforced and noted patched PHP versions that close the regression.
• Preserved all prior content and examples while appending two fresh, relevant references to the References section.
