This is a perl cgi script I wrote to allow me to have large html files on my 
web host without exceeding my storage quota.

I'd like it looked at, _I_ can no longer abuse it to run random commands or 
go where I shouldn't, but that doesn't mean others can'.

Any other feedback would also be great.

#!/usr/bin/perl
#Let users transparently access files that are gzipped server-side
#Useful only to keep under my storage quota ;-)

my $in = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};          # Handle CGI calls
$in =~ s/\+/ /g;                        # Replace '+' with ' '
$in =~ s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;    # Undo URL quoting

$in =~ s/\.\.//g;                       # Foil Nasty h4x0rz trying to desend
                                        # directories
$in =~ s/\\//g;                         # There is no need for backslashes!
$in =~ s/\'//g;                         # prevent h4x0rz from
                                        # running commands like
                                        # zcat.cgi?file=foo.html.gz';rm -rf *'

my %data = split (/=/, $in);            # Make an array

my $file = $data{'file'};               # get the name of the requested file

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
# print `echo '$file'`;                 # debugging
print `zcat ~/WWW/'$file'`;             # quotes prevent nastys.
