At this point I've become rather disgusted with it. When taint mode breaks pos(), and as a result your regex-based parser blows up in weird ways, and you spend many, many hours figuring out what exactly is happening, and then can't reduce it to a simple test case, you tend to get a little peeved. Tim's #ifdef idea for testing taint mode seems like a really good idea. Once I know it's well tested in the core, I'll be happy to test my own modules with it. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
