MacPerl MPW tool (MrC/SC build), Tainted Environment variables
The following may or may not be a bug. I've detected it while testing
Graham Barr's Scalar::Util module for MacPerl 5.004. I've built this
module for MacPerl 5.6.0 too, and it shows the same (erroneous ?)
behavior. This module exports a function tainted(), which allows a
boolean test whether or not a variable is tainted.
On a Unix machine, the following two tests should be ok, when run with
the -T switch:
my $key = (keys %ENV)[0];
$var = $ENV{$key};
print "not " unless tainted($var);
print "ok 3\n";
print "not " unless tainted($ENV{$key});
print "ok 4\n";
Under MacPerl, these tests are not ok. An environment variable seems
not to be tainted. Is this a bug or a feature?
