Yeesh... Randal, you're extremely difficult to deal with. I read the .* thread href'd at the top of this thread and noticed a post regarding you. I can't help but feel like that guy had a point even if he was out of line.

Let's put it this way, taint will not make my code secure. <- that is a period. It will help only. 2ndly, I'm whipping it out so that 10 people who I know very well can use the code behind an SSL apache password protected website. They will not make any of my variables contain things like "rm -rf /". I'm in a jailed setup anyways so I can't affect anyone else's things on the server, in fact I have my own personal httpd process (which I still don't have permissions to turn taint off with).

So now that you have my life's story can we assume that I have at least one tiny peice of intelligence so that we can move on to the question that I originally asked?

If you still can't deal with the fact that this is for untainting, then pretend with me for a second that I'm trying to put a happy face " :)" on the end of every variable. For this I would very much like to have a wrapper around CGI::param, which is still returning undef.
