Re: Taint mode errror

Set the $ENV{PATH} to a hardcoded (or at least, untainted) value. eg: $ENV{PATH} = "/bin:/usr/bin";

Sure, what you're doing doesn't use $ENV{PATH} at all, but Perl doesn't know that.

Forging your own path does not mean that you should avoid asking for directions.

If you're going to execute things with absolute paths (`/bin/foobar`), you might be able to get away with no path (`undef $ENV{PATH}`). The executed process will have to be explicit in any nested exec/system call, but that's arguably a good thing. -- `[ e d @ h a l l e y . c c ]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
