very interesting. As yet admitted, the technical points of this discussion are, by far, deeper to reach for me. But..
in my serendipity perl experience i ever though Perl had not to be patched: may be upgraded but was not something like a browser (a new minor release every 20 requests...).

Now i read about an obscure bug about HASH implementation: uh i'm interested! i use old CGIs, my programs use many complex data structures, and i like a lot hashes (quite often i end with stuff like: ${ $first{second}{third} }->[23] ).
ok. good guy spotted the bug and realesed a patch. normally i download it, read some instruction, and apply it. Seems this is not that case. Better a full upgrade. to be sure.

BrowserUK: i read carefully many of your posts and i trust you as many other monks here. I learned that your posts, many times, seems like porcupines in a morbid wool thread: but this appearence is not due to a polemic spirit but to a critic one. You think with your brain and before you accept some explication you need to be convinced yourself and prove it. this is the rigth approach of scientinst and many times your dissentient affirmations putted me on a safer way.

That said, on the other side, in the learning process, is fundamental to trust the 'master' or the 'teacher' or the 'book' (as you prefear). I'm happy that demerphq and other peoples had not shouted on the net about the feasibilty of an hash or rehash attack: i don't want a pletora of bots be in queue in front of my 80 doors.. i prefear the vulnerabilty be known when my son will use Perl 6.8.

thanks to all for the intersting discussion.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
