Hi,

I know using Taint mode can be a royal PIA for development, but I'm thinking it that maybe it is a good thing to have on all the time. I'm thinking of security and to, in a small way, S.M.A. when I type in one window thinking I'm in another (two monitors hooked up).

I'm viewing taint in the same light as 'strict' mode. Sure, it is a PIA to get used to, but it is better... isn't it? ;-)

My question is: is there any good reason NOT to use taint mode all the time (except maybe one liners)?

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.
