    Then don't run it!

    Actually my "cperl.bat" needed to shorten a way to run a piece of code that I see on screen. When I go longer way (using temprary file on disk), I also must ask myself "What if that snippet does something evil".

    My script do not change security level, it just shortens code snippet execute timecycle!

      Ah! But you cannot always tell what a snippet will do at first glance. Seemingly innocent code could do evil things just the same as evil looking code could be perfectly innocent.
