note afoken <p>Note that this allows execution of arbitary code injected into the configuration file:</p> <code> $config = { host_1 => '192.168.1.1', host_2 => '192.168.1.2', host_3 => '192.168.1.3', host_4 => '192.168.1.4', you_will_have_a_really_bad_day => `rm -rf /`, } </code> <p>This is at least surprising for a user which does not expect executable code in a configuration file. And there is no way to prevent this completely except by <b>not</b> treating a configuration file as program code.</p> <p>Alexander</p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-747201"> --<br> Today I will gladly share my knowledge and experience, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so". ;-) </div></div> 770562 770599
