[ale] OT - looking for some guidance with a perl script

[F. Grant Robertson]

I suppose they might be able to escape it in some way.. probably with % notation..  I think that gets converted by cgi anyway though.  <shrug>  Fletch? Where are you?

And you know, now that I think of it, there may be a cpan module for securing paths.. might be worth a look.  http://search.cpan.org/

That would work, but I wasn't absolutely sure that would be secure
enough.  I figured someone might find a way to work around that.  I
can't but I've lived long enough to know that isn't much of a test.  8)

Thanks,
Jim.
