Hi
I have a web perl script. In the script I need to access a SQL database. I
have the password as a string in the script. Clearly anyone downloading the
script can see it. I tried putting the password in a file (chmod 0400 -
read by owner only). Unforunately, being on the web I need to set it to
0444 - read by everyone - which defeats the aim. I appreciate it is more of
a linux problem that Perl but what do other do when they have passwords they
need to send to a SQL database etc. when running a Perl script on the web.
Regards
John
