| Subject: | bundled Module::Install leaks private information |
Moin,
each bundled Module::Install containts things like:
#line 1 "/home/username/path/Image-Info-1.20/inc/Module/Install.pm -
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Module/Install.pm"
This leaks private information about the developer and his machine to
the outside world, like:
* local username
* used operating system (indirectly) and directory layout
* local development directory name(s)
* locally used perl version
Not everyone wishes to disclose (all/some of) these things, and the doc
doesn't make it aware that these things are in fact included with the
bundled module version.
Best wishes,
Tels
