Taint mode was designed to protect against a shell user who can set environment variables, which is why it ignores $PERL5LIB. In a Web application, however, the environment is not under the control of a potential attacker, so it's not a threat. In many of my perl scripts, I use this code to pay attention to $PERL5LIB even in taint mode:
BEGIN { # Blindly untaint. Taintchecking is to protect from Web data; # the environment is under our control. if ($ENV{PERL5LIB} and $ENV{PERL5LIB} =~ /^(.*)$/) { eval "use lib '$_';" foreach (reverse split(/:/,$1)); } if ($ENV{PATH} and $ENV{PATH} =~ /^(.*)$/) { $ENV{PATH}=$1; } }
