Re^2: Templating pod generation?

I thought pod parsers executed some code. I remember getting warnings when running perldoc as root that it was allowed to execute code.

I thought pod parsers executed some code. Well, perldoc, the program, allows you to specify an arbitrary Pod parser to use for formatting. Pod parsers can do anything they want, including running malicious code. So I suspect that was the restriction on running as root. But I don't think that perlpodspec says anything about code execution -- that was my point about Pod and code being two separate languages. -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain.

Drat and double drat. I guess I just lose. Or really, I write my code in a templated .PL file which EU::MM will run and it'll have to generate my .pm and pod for me. Blech. ⠤⠤ ⠙⠊⠕⠞⠁⠇⠑⠧⠊	[reply]
