     # tainting is enabled

Version

This document describes version 0.031 of tainting (from Perl distribution tainting), released on 2021-08-06.

Overview

DEPRECATION NOTICE: tainting.pm is broken and will be purged from CPAN because the lexical switching is done at compile time while tainting is performed at runtime. Please see Taint::Runtime and localize $TAINT instead.

This module provides a simpler interface to Taint::Runtime. The idea is so that there is no functions or variables to import. Just "use" or "no", like warnings or strict. Tainting of %ENV will be done one time automatically the first time this module is used.

Please (PLEASE) read Taint::Runtime's documentation first about the pro's and con's of enabling/disabling tainting at runtime. TL;DR: Use -T if you can.
