Hm. Navy Site. Lessee.... Goes to google and searches for "DOD CGI security FAQ"

Odd. That first hit (The lucky one) points to an Army site. Coincidence? Cues eerie theme music.

Seriously, your Navy friend may want to hit the search engine a wee bit. After puttering around on the Army site for a few moments, I stumbled across a link to NIST's Federal Agency Security Practices pages. In turn, this lead me to Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute's CERT Coordination Center. Using their search engine to find documents containing "Perl CGI" resulted in 81 hits. Now, the same search on Security Focus yields 107 hits (at this moment). I imagine there is some crossover between the two, but didn't see too many in my (admittedly brief) scan of the results.

Duplicates or not, the stuff is out there...

Besides, would you really want to take coding guidelines from the DoD? Think about it.
