Is MiniVend secure?

Maybe. It has been downloaded over 500,000 times (availability at 50+ FTP sites means it is unknown how many more times than that) with no reported system security problems. It uses the Perl Safe.pm module for user-embedded Perl subroutines and conditionals to make use of those pretty carefree.

The bottom line is that security needs to be your concern. MiniVend tries to warn you and provide means for protecting customer data, but it can't stop you from doing all unwise things. The author stands behind the license for MiniVend and disclaims all responsibility.
