Message: [QUOTE="rider.hibiki, post: 4824684"] Has anyone come across taint issues in utf8_heavy.pl under perl 5.8.5 I've been getting Insecure Dependency errors in utf8_heavy.pl when it is doing the files in unicore/gc and I can't work out where they're coming from. I've set some debug around the area its failing. warn "DJR attempting to do [$file]"; use Scalar::Util; warn "DJR file variable is tainted ?". Scalar::Util::tainted($file); $list = do $file; # this is the original bit thats failing. This gives me the following in my error logs. [Wed Aug 23 12:21:08 2006] null: DJR attempting to do [unicore/lib/gc_sc/Word.pl] at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/utf8_heavy.pl line 185. [Wed Aug 23 12:21:08 2006] null: DJR file variable is tainted ?0 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/utf8_heavy.pl line 187. [Wed Aug 23 12:21:08 2006] [error] [Wed Aug 23 12:21:08 2006] null: Insecure dependency in require while running with -T switch at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/utf8_heavy.pl line 188.\n I'm not sure how I could be getting an Insecure dependency when the only thing being used is the $file variable and Scalar::Util shows that variable to not be tainted.
