I have yet to start a job that did not have glaring security holes in their web-facing Perl code. Web security is overwhelmingly a function of the hacker and only slightly afforded by safety nets and proper buffer checks and such in the binary/compiled code that’s running. Nearly every single newbie SQL question posted here is absent placeholders. And that’s just the most obvious example of pervasive security ignorance.	[reply]

Indeed. But I think it's safe to say that any Code, in any [programming] Language, is ultimately only as secure as the individual writing it. I'm just happy to say it doesn't happen to me, and all my web facing apps, are Perl based. :) --Chris ¡λɐp ʇɑəɹ⅁ ɐ əʌɐɥ puɐ ʻꜱdləɥ ꜱᴉɥʇ ədoH	[reply]
