in reply to What's missing in Perl books?

I'd buy "Secure Programming with Perl" in a heartbeat. Apart from laying out the base principles of secure programming, it should demonstrate where Perl helps you in avoiding common security traps and where it lays traps of it's own. A comparison with other languages (kinda "If you've been programming (Java|PHP|C), these are the things you should be aware of"), would be useful, and a list (with examples!) of best practices.

Also, when is "Programming Perl 6" coming out ;-)?


Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -- Brian W. Kernighan
