First you need to be 'security
aware*' which seems to be the case for you.
Then use the community experience
(
Super Search will teach you to : use strict, learn taint checking, not store plaintext password...)
or security sites (
SecurityFocus for example) archives/mailing lists
Then perldoc
perlsec is a must read...
Eventually, I suppose peer review is the best way...
(How do you call it ?
Open source ? ;-)
The monastery,
CPAN or any scripts archive site is ok for such review as long
as you label your work as alpha and ask for feedback
* I put this in Bold for all the french Jean-claude Vandame's fan ;-)
