in thread Location of perl modules

Hi,
Thanks, that just what I needed to know. I can see what you mean about security issues.

So if you were writing a software application that needed to sit entirely under the document root, and you were writing your own Perl modules, what would you do...? I guess I could ask people to put stuff outside the document root... I think i'll take a look at your code for including the CGI module and see if I can use that,

cheers,
Tom

    I'd explain to my client that they should hire another programmer, because I wasn't willing to be responsible for a mistake in security when such a file layout was clearly not necessary.

    Letting the PHBs decide technical issues is unethical as a professional programmer.
