This is a fragment of dhelp's dsearch CGI script:

# Pass parameters to Swish++ search program
open (SEARCH, '-|')
        or exec '/usr/bin/search++', '-i', '/var/lib/dhelp/swish++.index', "$search";

>From the Perl documentation it should be safe to pass "unsafe" characters
in $search (perldoc -f exec).

I would like to read your opinion before allowing such things like *
in $search.

Ciao
