I expect Randal is quite busy, that he finds time to participate here is a big plus for all of us.

With the perl community growing by leaps and bounds, the highly accomplished will continue to be mingling here with the uninitiated. the re-vistiting of topics will continue, at a continuing higher pace.

The fact that Randal says he's doing this when the code presents a security risk makes it vital that he respond when he sees it. By not (re)solving the problem for us, others will have more opportunity to help out, and grow their skills by the exercise.

I for one would rather get a humbling "running with scissors" comment than have my security challenged code be ignored.

My ego can recover faster than a compromised system
