I assume you are referring to server-side scripts, since most browsers don't support Perl as a client-side scripting language without some sort of add-on.
As far as server-side script security is concerned, I'd say your script security depends on your web server software and your administrator's configuration savvy. If you're using modperl on Apache, your server-side Perl script security would be the same as that of PHP on Apache. If you're using IIS and PerlEx, IIS would be the determining factor. :-( Of course, a webmaster who doesn't know what he's doing can expose your entire enterprise to the Internet, not just your script code. ----- Wiley ----- Original Message ----- From: "roger parker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 10:30 Subject: Perl Security > Hi there > How safe are perl scripts > Is it possible to read a script from the webserver via the web. > > -roger > > _______________________________________________ > ActivePerl mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs > _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
