BCP for passing $password to a command-line Perl script?

	BTW, what is the best current practice to pass ->connect ()
	$password to a command-line Perl script?

	Both specifying it via a command-line argument or via an
	environment variable (DBI_PASS) is insecure, as on some systems
	this information could easily be seen by the other users on the
	same host.

	Perhaps, some variation on Net::Netrc should be used instead?

	My primary interests currently are PostgreSQL, which can use
	Kerberos, and SQLite, which uses filesystem access rights
	instead, but just for the case…
