Hi Angus,

Great job with the Forum! I am having a problem with the Submit Post button. I get an error - "Insecure dependancy in open while running setgid at forum.pl line 23". I don't know perl and need a little help.

Thanks!

Hmm. Looks like your host is running Perl with "taint" checks on. Usually this means that a variable is being passed to a file open command without being checked.... although I'm fairly confident I run all my variables through regexes first, I'll have to double-check and see if I can reproduce the error here.

Thanks - Angus.

Hi Angus,

I appreciate you help with this. I am using tripod for my site, if that helps. Any luck recreating the error?

Thanks.

Sorry, I've been busy this week -- I'll try and have a look this weekend sometime. The hardest part is going to be getting my local Perl/Apache setup working with taint enabled I think...

- Angus.
