If you

only accept Perl-code in your configs with lower case letters and

can restrict the load paths for useable moduls and

are sure that there won't be any untrusted code in the file system accessible with do š AND

I haven't forgotten any other back-doors ...

... you should have a good chance that a syntax check with perl-c will not execute code.

No guaranty given!!!

(Looks like I invented a new kind of perl game ... :)

š) IMHO shouldn't be a problem anyway beacuse do is run-time only.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
