Clearly if someone can use XS otherwise leave perl that would need to be checked separately. The question then how can I locate the places in a perl code that indicate the usage of XS or other non-Perl code?

What can you do with unpack "p"? Do you have an example?

What can you do with unpack "p" I though it could be used to write to random locations in the process memory, but actually it can only be used to read from random memory, so it is mostly harmless, forget about it!	[reply]
