Re^5: safely passing args through ssh

The problem you stated: "what's a good way of encoding ... so that it will survive an ssh call?"

Where "D" is the shell's literal parser and "s" is an arbitrary shell command, you want a function "E" that exhibits the following behaviour:

s = D(E(s)) = D(D(E(s))) = D(D(D(E(s)))) etc

but there is none.

Why are you ignoring the entire section of my original post starting with "To be specific about the problem ..."??? I'm not looking to encode an arbitrary shell command. Given an `$array` that will invoke a perl interpreter via `open(..., "-\|", @$array)` I am looking for ways to safely encode a perl script that will be passed to the interpreter via the command line.

Why are you ignoring the entire section of my original post starting with "To be specific about the problem ..."??? First, that's not true. I addressed that. Second, I don't happen to be interested in helping you work around a bug when it's easy to fix the bug itself. I'm not looking to encode an arbitrary shell command. That's not true, you're trying to make it work with Perl and argcount. If it's limited to Perl, there are indeed ways. `perl -MDecoder -edecode_and_run encoded` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
