The Perl Jam 2: The Camel Strikes Back (32c3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH_u3C2WwQ0

Link to discussion of last year's talk: 1111750

I cringed the first talk, but it seems like this talk is more productive. Summary:

• Hashes and arrays are considered "secure" (???)
• SQL injections happen when you don't sanitize input (not exactly groundbreaking)
• Results from various CGI-like modules are not standardized
• Real bug in example CGI.pm code
• <> does strange things when given something other than a file (strange to anyone who hasn't memorized the camel book)
• open() creates a file descriptor unless it's used with | in which case it executes

I sincerely hope there will not be a Stop Using Perl pt 3. I can only handle someone complaining about list flattening for so long.
