in thread What restrictions are there on code execution when running perl in syntax check mode?

The answer is to run untrusted code under a user account that has no priviledges. None, zero, zip!

Then, as each requirement of the code to do things that require priviledges fail, you'll get an error message and line number telling what it was trying to do and where. You can then decide on a case by case basis whether to enable the account for that purpose or not.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
