[calc] is treated the same as [perl] as far as the Safe-mode rules are
concerned.  The error message was probably referring to an attempt to
call a subroutine that you should not be attempting to call.

I've just run the following tests:

catalog.cfg file:

    Sub <<EOS
    sub testsub {
        return 'success';
    }
    EOS

new file called 'testfile':

    inside include subs=0: [perl] testsub(); [/perl]<br>
    inside include subs=1: [perl subs=1] testsub(); [/perl]<br>
    Test calc: [calc] return 'success'; [/calc]<br>
    Test perl: [perl] return 'success'; [/perl]<br>

new page called test.html:

    outside include subs=0: [perl] testsub(); [/perl]<br>
    outside include subs=1: [perl subs=1] testsub(); [/perl]<br>
    [include testfile]

Results:

    outside include subs=0:
    outside include subs=1: success
    inside include subs=0: success
    inside include subs=1: success
    Test calc: success
    Test perl: success

No drama, although I was surprised that the subs=1 wasn't necessary
when [perl] was called from within [include].

Try the above tests on your system to see what happens.  I imagine that
the problem will be traced to your &Vend::Interpolate::blahblah() calls.
