Re: Why a taint flag on test files?by adrianh (Chancellor) |

What's the idea behind flagging .t files for taint checking? I write most of my code with tainting enabled, so I want to make sure everything works with tainting enabled. It makes my life easier if other people do it too :-) Any good rules of thumb for when it's the right thing to do? My default is to always have tainting on. I wouldn't have thought it a necessity for a test script, unless the test was specifically testing the taint-safe behavior of something. And how do you know which bits of your code (and any of its dependencies) relate to taint safe behaviour? :-) You can either spend a lot of time and effort figuring it out yourself, or you can just tack '-T' to your perl line and get perl to figure it out for you.
