Re: include statement in perl?

This is not specific to CGI.pm

sub include {
    my $file = shift;
    open my $fh, '<', $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'}.$file
        or return;
    while (<$fh>) { print }
    close $fh or return;
    return 1;
}

Taint mode will require that you set $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'} for yourself.

It should be noted that as DOCUMENT_ROOT is set by the webserver and not subject to user input, it's safe to trust. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

Of course; I just mean you don't need to set it yourself. It'll suffice to simply do something like `my ($doc_root) = $ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT} =~ /(.)/;` [download] Makeshifts last the longest.*	[reply] [d/l]

Ohhh, so you basically just open up the file, read it, and then print it out? That sounds easy enough.	[reply]
