sawanv has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello all.

This may seem like a lamer question...if so please excuse me.

When I run a script with the taint option, I get the "Too late...." error message. The Camel says this can be solved by making sure that the script begins with the -T first, i.e. #!/user/bin/perl -T followed by other flags.

But I am doing this and still get the same error. This is for scripts as well as CGIs.

Can anyone please advise? Thanks.

    If you're running IIS, Taint with Perl on NT/IIS might enlight you as to cause and remedy.

    When running scripts from the command line, use 

      perl -T <script>

    [download]
    instead of relying on 
      #!perl -T

    [download]
    at the top of the script.
