What's going on is that Perl needs to be started in taint mode and *then* the script
gets fed to
it. If you're trying to run Web applications with Apache, the shebang line is read
and the
program on the shebang line is started with any switches listed there. However, if
you are using
IIS, Personal Web Server, or merely running the script through the command line, Perl
is started
first and then the script and the switches (in this case, -T) are fed to it. Since
Perl needs to
be started with taint mode enabled, it will fail if it's already started and then sees
the taint
switch.
If you're running from the command line, try this:
perl -T somescript.pl
If you do it that way, Perl is started in taint mode. The nice thing about this is
that you
*won't* have to remove the -T switch from the shebang line, thus ensuring that you
won't forget to
add it back in.
