It sounds like you are trying to give to Perl some "MS-windows" style of security. Let the OS (interpreter) decide what you can and can't see. Of course, just as with windows, that kindof security can be hacked. The best way to implement security, is to make GPG (or PGP) more of a standard. In other words, just keep things you don't want seen, encrypted. For example, with the credit card data problem: An easy solution would be for the browsers to have the ability to PGP encrypt data, with your key, before submitting it. All this would really take, is to get a promo campaign going to get the average person familiar with
the basics of keys. It's not that hard, but it seems complicated at first. Then the browser developers could build in PGP encryption of form-data.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
