in thread Untainting backtick command data

All other scalars are safe. They were successfully untainted. I guess it should be $ENV{PATH} then. I'm just a beginner so I didn't even bother with this one. How can I untaint it??

    1. by setting it to a fixed value 

    $ENV{PATH}="/path/part/one:/path/part/two";

    2. by un-setting it and calling the external prog directly: 

    $ENV{PATH}='';
`/usr/bin/rsh ...`;
