Hi Paul, Thanks for the warning :-) and all the helpful tips! I'll be sure to look at those PDFs closely...I took a glimpse through the security one and it looks pretty good.
I've used Perl for many years, but never worried about security, taint, etc. since the person who wrote the scripts was the person who ran it (i.e., me)...now that the other person is some client, potentially purposely trying to cause havoc, I feel like I'm learning it all over again. :-) Thanks again for the information!
