From 'perldoc -q taint'
Found in /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/pod/perlfaq7.pod
       How can I tell if a variable is tainted?

You can use the tainted() function of the Scalar::Util module, available from CPAN (or included with Perl since release 5.8.0). See also "Laundering and Detecting Tainted Data" in perlsec.


That points to perlsec, so try
'perldoc perlsec'

Trying to write the processes input of an hatml form via a cgi script I get this error message:

Software error:

Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/post.cgi line 357.


It concerns the following lines of my cgi script

...

$ENV{PATH} = "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin";

open(OUTF,">>execute.ml") or &dienice("Can't open execute.ml for writing: $!");

...

What does this error mean and how can I solve it?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Paola.
