( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I'm just asking for two cents here, since I don't really know the full circumstances of this situation. But I'm writing because someone mentioned accepting regexs through a database.

In a worst case scenario, isn't this kind of asking for trouble? What if someone wanted to insert malicious code into this running script? Granted, I really don't know the full implications of using an Eval block to run unknown code, but wouldn't using Reval be a bit more desirable with something like this? I'm just thinking in terms of reducing the amount of risk present to a computer.

If I'm way off base here, I'd appreciate some clarification on this. Whenever I thought I had an excuse to use an Eval, I always found a much better way through refactoring. :)

Thanks for your patience.

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.
