Re: "Faking" screen in perl?

I'm not sure if this is relevant to your project, but are you aware of the recent security alerts concerning screen? I'm only aware of it because I like this utility a lot, but had a lot of stress installing it on SUSE and then came across the security warnings when looking for a fix. Google on "screen vulnerability."

I wonder if having this in perl would make things better, worse, or no change.

Could you give me a pointer? I was unable to find a recent screen vulnerability. Ordinary morality is for ordinary people. -- Aleister Crowley	[reply]

Sounds right. You reckon it matters? I'm pretty ignorant, and wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't...	[reply]

I was just going with the hope that in four years they've patched it.	[reply]
