Greets,

I am having some issue w/using File::Find and taint checking. I am trying to grab a group of files via the File::Find module, as it seemed that globbing was not a good idea w/taint checking. Problem is, I get the following error when I run the script: 

Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /usr/local/gnu/lib
+/perl5/Cwd.pm line 69.

Our perl version is 5.004_04. Has anyone encountered this problem? It appears to me that File::Find is the cause, but am not sure how to get around it, w/o monkeying w/ Find.pm.

Thanks for the help,

bb

Here is the snippet that is causing me problems: 

#! /usr/local/bin/perl -Tw

use strict;
use File::Find;
use Socket;


my $BasePath = "/hostname";
my $SourcePath = "${BasePath}/internal_hosts";
my ($Hostname, @HostFiles, $Subnet, $NewPass, $IP, $Service, $OS);

find (\&GrabHostFiles, "$SourcePath"); foreach (@HostFiles) { print "$
+_\n";}

sub GrabHostFiles {
    my $hostaddr = $_; 
    chomp $hostaddr;
    push(@HostFiles, $1) if ($hostaddr =~ /(hostlist\_\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}
+\.\d{1,3})/);
}
