Mark,
This is actually a common misconception. Taint checking works just fine on Win32 using
ActiveState Perl. Try the following from the command line:
perl -Te "$x=shift;open TEST, qq/>$x/" test.txt
You will get the following error message:
Insecure dependency in open while running with -T switch at -e line 1.
Taint checking is problematic on Win32 systems *usually* because of the way the
programs are run.
If you type "perl somescript.pl" and you have the -T switch on the shebang line, you
will get the
"Too late for "-T" option at somescript.pl line 1." error. The easiest way to get
around this is
to explicitly pass the -T switch to the perl interpreter:
perl -T somescript.pl
If this doesn't work for you, what version of Perl are you using?
Cheers,
Curtis Poe
