in reply to Pod::Usage and Taint Mode

Howdy!

Off the top of my head, I'd suspect $ENV{PATH} as the offending item. I'd try setting $ENV{PATH} (possibly to '' unless you need it elsewhere) to some fixed value to untaint it.

      Excuse me for reviving the thread but I had the same problem today and found a working solution elsewhere on the web that I would like to appear here:

      pod2usage({-verbose => 2, -input => \*DATA});

      [download]

      or, if called inside a package

      pod2usage({-verbose => 2, -input => \*::DATA});
