Hi!  I keep reading about running CGI scripts with taint mode for security, but when I use the -T switch, I get the following message:
&lt;PRE&gt;
Too late for "-T" option at formtest.cgi line 1.
&lt;/PRE&gt;
My shebang line is:
&lt;PRE&gt;
#!/usr/bin/perl -T
&lt;/PRE&gt;
(It was #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw but I took the -w off for testing why -T doesn't work).
&lt;P&gt;
Can canyone tell me what the error message means and how I can get around it?  Thanks monks!!!</field>
