Re^2: Match number >= 0 and <1

could you please give some value for $_num where my ($untainted) = ($_num =~ /^(.*)$/); has a different outcome than just my $untainted = $_num.

It is my understandment that it will have just the same value, but it will be... ehm... untainted! Which is the point the OP was trying to make: first blindily untaint, then do your checks whatever way you like most, i.e. do not try to do it all in one regex. I second his approach, BTW!	[reply]

All of them. The regexp removes the taint flag.	[reply]
