The day perl became a bit disgusting or why PHP got the better CGI enviroment
I just viewed a very nice #31c3 talk about a well known issue with certain functions within two very widely used perl-modules (DBI & CGI). When I heard the arguments brought to the presenter from the audience within the Q&A, I thought to myself, well, they’re right. All of these attack vectors are in theory something that could have been prevented by just flatten arguments (as you always should). Then again, this makes for a really, really messy programming style that does not come easy if you were programming any other programming language prior to perl....
