( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I've written the following script to help me find relevant scripts in my rather burgeoning cgi-bin directory. I would like to use the -T switch to run this but I'm getting a software error. How can I get round this?

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT use strict; use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser); use CGI ':standard'; use File::Find; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; my $dir = '/myroot/public_html/cgi-bin'; my $word = param('word'); $word =~ /(^\w+|\s+$)/; my $valid = $1; unless ($valid) { print 'no word'; exit; } find(\&find_word, $dir); sub find_word { if (($File::Find::name =~ /\.pl/) or ($File::Find::name =~ /\.cgi/)) + { open FH, '<', $File::Find::name or die "Can't open $File::Find::na +me: $!"; while (my $line = <FH>) { chomp; if ($line =~ /$valid/) { print "$File::Find::name == $line\n\n" } } } }
Software error: Insecure dependency in chdir while running with -T switch at /usr/lib/ +perl5/5.8.8/File/Find.pm line 844, <FH> line 43175.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
