I checked before I sent that review, and as far as I could tell, it
was fairly consistently avoiding the lazy and insecure forms, e.g.
system("com mand " . $param);
open($fh, "com mand " . $param . " |"); while (<$fh>) { ... }
but used the more sequre list form, e.g.
system(qw(com mand), $param);
open($fh, "-|", qw(com mand), $param); while (<$fh>) { ... }
But of course there may be some places that were careless that I
didn't spot (and previous reviewers of the current cvsimport
didn't).
