Hi,
Reading the relevant documentation on CGI.pm shows the two so called 'DOS attacks' you refer to are disabled by default and left to the web server, as does my own 'cooked CGI'. This is not a bug or security issue.
There are no other security bugs and the system is fully protected and tested against SQL injection.
Should you have any further advice can you please point out with at least one line of relevant code. If not, I'd appreciate it if you can drop the negativity. I'm here to get it right and will solve any issues that are identified.
Any statements are justified. If you install the system and get it up and running you will see the hugely powerful security and the differentiation that it can do.
I sympathasise that installation is not as straight forward as others and documentation is lacking, but again this is powerful software for web developers not web users.
Yours, Andrew

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.
