Re^6: Insecure dependency in open

Whoops! Completely disregard this post. I thought at the time that perl wasn't even letting me read from STDIN but it is. That changes my recently follow-up question thread, which can now be discarded. (I thought perl wasn't letting me set a variable from STDIN.). Mea culpa. More later...

I don't yet see how calling `$filename = <STDIN>` is any different than saying `$filename = $ENV{HOME}`. They're not. `>echo "input" \| perl -T -e "use Scalar::Util qw( tainted ); my $var = +<STDIN>; print(tainted($var)?1:0, qq{\n})" 1 >set VAR=input & perl -T -e "use Scalar::Util qw( tainted ); my $var = + $ENV{VAR}; print(tainted($var)?1:0, qq{\n})" 1` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
