Hi all, First, I know what when I untaint a value passed to my script using CGI, I need to check for what I want, not what I don't want. But, since I'm even more of a newbie to the world of unix than I am to Perl, are "#" bad ... ie, can they do dangerous things? I'd like users of my script to be able to enter "Apt. #111" and not have it get rejected, if doing so is safe. (And, on a related note, are periods safe?) Is there any resources out there listing what is safe to allow? --Mark. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
