...in fact apropos my previous comments about perl, I note that the
description reads as follows:
Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report Language.
An interpreted scripting language, known among some as "Unix's
Swiss Army Chainsaw".
Perl is optimized for scanning arbitrary text files and system
administration. It has built-in extended regular expression
matching and replacement, a dataflow mechanism to improve security
with setuid scripts and is extendible via modules that can
interface to C libraries.
It's not clear what point there is in advertising the taint feature if
you're not going to implement set[ug]id scripts...
