in thread Is this safe??

I'm working on a new scritp with the CGI stuff and its giving me this error when I run it on my pc that says "Too late for the "-T" option at mailer.cgi line 1." Is this just because on running it on a pc?

    It's probably because you're running it as 

    perl foo.pl

    [download]

    When the first line of the script looks something like: 

    #!c:\perl\bin\perl -T

    [download]

    Just change the command line to perl -T foo.pl, or execute the script directly (i.e. don't run it through the interpreter on the command line) and you're golden.

    P.S. "P.C." usually refers to the archictecture (i386), I understand you as meaning "Windows," my apologies if that assumption is incorrect.

      Thanks that was the problem. And yes I'm running perl in windows.

      So far I have this script that just displays all the fields. Now I need to be able to open the template files for the email securly. 
      #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw

#warnings and taint mode now enabled 

use CGI; 
use strict; 

#you may now use the CGI methods. 

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

print "<html><body>";
my ($query) = new CGI;
my (@values, $key);

foreach $key ($query->param) {
@values = $query->param($key);
print "$key = @values\n";
}

print "</body></html>";
