Re^3: Proposed change regarding "Taint" support

Not sure about "content" but certainly less miffed. I'm content that PHP exists just so long as I don't have to have anything to do with it. :-)

Tomasz Konojacki has referred to that "fundamentally important part of the system" as a "misfeature" that he would like to see "completely removed".

I notice that Tomasz gives neither evidence nor rationale for this "misfeature" claim. Given your recall of Larry's view I am quite happy to be in his camp rather than in Tomasz's.

> in his camp So far, Larry's camp is not represented in the p5p discussion. It shouldn't make you happy. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

Not in that discussion, no. However if you go back to the original referenced post there is at least some support. Steffen himself says (his emphasis): I would NOT want this to be the default behaviour, but having this an option could be a boon to people like my employer, who run Perl on thousands of machines and capacity is as important as latency. And later ... And while I'm at it: You distribution people out there: Don't ship a perl without taint support by default! There were a few others in the Larry/Hippo camp back then including Tux and Reini. But perhaps I will badger the p5p echo chamber with my opinions again now so they don't think it is obsolete. 🦛	[reply]
