Ah, I see your point...I suppose if it is turned off on the production 
server, it is putting a lot of pressure on me to test it properly.  I 
guess this isn't the same as turning debugging flags on for a C compiler...

Thanks a lot and thank you for your earlier e-mail too!  I'm working 
through that "Perl Security" document on your company's web site from 
this morning (was busy with something else throughout September).  Just 
got to the "three-argument open" section, so I actually know what you're 
talking about.  ;-)

Thanks again; great document, by the way!

Ray
