Well, the default open() method do perform pipe execs if you prepend or append "|", just like here. http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/perl3/prog/ch16_03.htm http:/

  If you're not using two-argument open() in Perl 5, you deserve what you get.

    If you're not using fork, dup2, execve instead of popen, you deserve what you get.

    "If you're not using two-argument open() in Perl 5, you deserve what you get." Pretty sure that's not quite what you meant to say... http://modernperlbooks.com/mt/2010/04/three-arg-open-migrating-to-modern-perl.html http://modernperlbooks.com/mt/2010/04/three-arg-open-migrati... If you _are_ using two-arg open, or if you're _not_ using three-arg open. (Or, the more general case: "If you're using Perl you deserve what you get - if you don't understand all the language features you're using." (And feel free to substitute whatever language will start the argument in place of Perl in that claim...)

  To be fair, I agree there's some bad code in there, and no real mention of any security concerns. Not good!
