Hello Stas,
No, my path does not contain . or .. anywhere.
Here is what I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ perl -le 'print $ENV{PATH}'
/users/webuser/perl/bin:/users/webuser/apache-ant/bin:users/webuser/netscape:/users/webuser/mysql/bin:/users/webuser/jdev/bin:/users/webuser/tomcat/bin:/users/webuser/jdk/bin:/users/webuser/ImageMagick/bin:/users/webuser/delegates/bin:/users/webuser/delegates/freestyle2/bin:/users/webuser/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/users/webuser/bin
HOWEVER, looking at how complicated the above was I simplified my PATH to
/users/webuser/perl/bin:/users/webuser/ImageMagick/bin:/users/webuser/delegates/bin:/users/webuser/delegates/freestyle2/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/users/webuser/bin
and the tests worked without problem.
Adding back directories revealed the problem was with :users/webuser/netscape
which did not exist.
Ah, good catch! We were taking care of removing . and .., but weren't
aware that a relative path without . or .. is a problem too:
% perl -Tle '$ENV{PATH} = "foo/bar"; system("date")'
Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at -e line 1.
I'll patch Apache-Test to handle that case as well.
Sorry for bothering you and the list.
Thank you for your reply which did result in solving the problem.
Happy Holidays!
You too!
