I've done the obvious of obliterating any "..", but I know that there are many more ways to bypass this.
You could:
- Save the current directory
- chdir() to the directory in question
- get the new current directory
- chdir() back to the saved directory
- return the "new current directory" from step 3
solving at least one problem.
From that point, you may have to brute-force search the resulting pathname (e.g., split() on '/', examine each component, etc.)
Perhaps not that helpful ... sorry.

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).

are good places to start.
