Bug #47175 for IO-All: A safer version of IO

> Sat Jun 20 02:05:17 2009: Request 47175 was acted upon. > Transaction: Ticket created by MSCHWERN > Queue: IO-All > Subject: A safer version of IO > Broken in: 0.39 > Severity: Wishlist > Owner: Nobody > Requestors: mschwern@cpan.org > Status: new > Ticket <URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=47175 > > > > I like IO::All and I want to use it in perl5i to solve a lot of Perl's > IO issues. Trouble is io() is a bit too smart and will do ambiguous and > insecure things like try to open URLs and pipes and sockets and let me > call any IO::All method with "method:" > > So I would like a safer, less ambiguous io(). One that only opens files > and directories and filehandles and will never try to open a socket. > You can still explicitly ask for all that with io->blah($thing). > IO::All::Safer, for example. > > You can see my way of sanitizing io() in perl5i here. > > http://github.com/schwern/perl5i/blob/83ea6096ab2714a16913893257dd55d58fe39c1b/lib/perl5i/IO.pm > >
