I designing a small Perl-based webapp with a MySQL backend. There is a script that pulls
values from the DB and populates form fields. Some of the fields must have freeform text
(can have <>'" etc.). Getting it into the DB isn't a problem. Populating the form fields
with this type of data is, though. I have a test data field that is "you don't want to
know". I have tried making it safe with:
$string =~ s/\'/\\'/g;
$string = $cgi->escape($string); // using CGI.pm
Neither approach works properly. How does everyone else deal with this?
