The main perl documentation on taint checking is IIRC in perlrun {my $update = "d'oh ... no it isn't. Fastolfe's right ... but there is some info on -T in this page" }.

Our own Ovid is currently writing a CGI scripting tutorial, which has some info on security. Try also searching on "taint mode" and "CGI security" and the like on this site to see the fossilized ... err, collected wisdom monks have offered so far.

Happy coding!

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.
