"Incidentally, I have never heard of using -T for taint checking. What is that about?"

Firstly, I am not sure how many times I have told you this, if you are going to update a post, it is better indicate in the post what you have changed.

So to answer your original question, taint checking is well documented, has been discussed in many articles, it is covered in relevant tutorials and super search returns many hits. So once again, reading the documentation should answer your question.

Update: Adding Wins unedited post as suggested by bart:

I don't know what database system you are using.  However, I would nea
+rly always recommend holding your SQL within a stored procedure held 
+within the database.  The stored procedure will not execute unless th
+e variables meet the data types set in the stored procedure.  It has 
+other added benefits potentially.

Incidentally, I have never heard of using -T for taint checking.  What
+ is that about?

• 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.
