Thank you - that explains exactly where the problem is...
Would this be a sensible way to untaint $ENV{'PATH'} without losing the portability of the code and without introducing huge security risks?
my $path = $ENV{'PATH'};
$ENV{'PATH'} = undef;
foreach my $p(split /:/, $path) {
if ($p =~ m!^(/(usr|bin).*)!) {
$ENV{'PATH'} .= ':' if $ENV{'PATH'};
$ENV{'PATH'} .= $1;
}
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
