A discussion of easy untainting came up on perl6-internals and fairly universally rejected. http://www.mail-archive.com/perl6-internals@perl.org/msg00016.html And again discussing RFC 227 <20000915045251.F5559@athens.aocn.com> Hasn't hit the archives yet. To sum up: "Orthoginality can blow me, detainting without filtering should remain hard." This doesn't mean we shouldn't have a way to untaint a data source. It can be convenient and definately more efficient than other sources. It should just be deliberately obfuscated and buried (say, like in a man page. Nobody reads those.) Definately for the guys with the white hats only. -- Michael G Schwern http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ schwern@pobox.com Just Another Stupid Consultant Perl6 Kwalitee Ashuranse MORONS!Thread Previous | Thread Next
