( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I got an answer ready for this but I had a crisis of morality.

If you can explain a good reason to have something like this, I'll answer. Until then, this is a bad attempt at getting someone to help you thwart security.

Please, no one answer until we are sure we are not helping someone make life harder on someone else.

Update:

I can only see one reason for this:

You are in a college or a library, and you see a common computer.

You decide to log in and check your email through telnet on a
college server.  You go to the computer, run 'telnet', and wait
for the "username" and "Password" prompts.  When they arrive,
you type in your username "naiveboy", and you type in your 
password "drowssap".  You get an "incorrect password" message.

You try again, you get the same error.  You try another computer 
and you get connected.  

Unbeknownst to you, your password and username were just grabbed
by the unimaginative yutz who can write enough perl to create
a fake telnet client like the one above.

Let's not help the yutz above ruin someone's life.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
