in thread Safety of linking to a text file

I'm not quite sure how this relates to the OPs question, he is not talking about using or requiring a file so @INC doesn't come in to it, taint mode however might be useful if he was taking input from the user to specify which file to display but I am nto quite sure that this is the case.

    I made the point for when/if he changes things, so the OP should read up on Taint mode for his own knowledge.

    But I take your points on board.

    Fancy a yourname@perl.me.uk? Just ask!!!

      I would have thought a link to perlsec and a quick reference to tainting would have been more appropriate in that case.

        Either way, both of our points have been made and put across :-)
