Subject: NULL character not filtered
A useful module, however, passing the NULL character to a shell, even in single quotes, causes problems (see this permonks node: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=38548). Would permitting only print characters be too strict? Examples: perl -le 'print qx| echo -n '\''Hello World'\'' |' perl -le 'print qx| echo -n '\''Hello \0 World'\'' |' Good Day, Dean ------------------------------------- String-ShellQuote-1.00 This is perl, v5.8.4 built for i386-linux-thread-multi GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (i386-pc-linux-gnu)

Oops! In 1.01, just uploaded, a NUL will cause shell_quote to croak(). There's a new function, shell_quote_best_effort(), which will strip the NULs and return what it can. Thanks. -- Roderick Schertler roderick@argon.org
