Hello,
I am making a chat program in PERL and I have created a login script. I ran across a security problem when passing the username and password value though the url \ (cause well you could see them hehe)... So I had the script picka random number then create a file with that randomnumber.dat then i had it stor the username and password inside it (with 700) permissions. Soo then the page is created and the script reffers the the number in the url instead of displayign the uername and password. After the script gets the random number and opens it and reads it...it deletes the file. Soo I want your feedback to see how yall would have done this..

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
