in reply to perlsec question

And by killing %ENV, you also kill your cgi-Parameters, and so communication between cgi-Scripts is nearly impossible.

Best regards,
perl -e "print a|r,p|d=>b|p=>chr 3**2 .7=>t and t"

    Nah. Get your CGI parameters first, then kill %ENV before doing anything.

    You can always explicitly set any ENV variables you need anyway (and should) and you should always specify the full path to any executables you use.

    If you have CGI scripts trying to execute other CGI scripts, then you are doing something fundamentally wrong already.

    Not to mention that CGI scripts which assume that all CGI communication will be in %ENV loses you the ability to pass large amounts of data to the script. (Which requires the POST method to do.)
