| libclass-dbi-fromcgi-perl | Update Class::DBI data using CGI::Untaint | Mehr ... |
Lots of times, Class::DBI is used in web-based applications. (In
fact, coupled with a templating system that allows you to pass
objects, such as Template::Toolkit, Class::DBI is very much your
friend for these.)
.
And, as we all know, one of the most irritating things about writing
web-based applications is the monotony of writing much of the same
stuff over and over again. And, where there's monotony there's a
tendency to skip over stuff that we all know is really important, but
is a pain to write - like Taint Checking and sensible input
validation. (Especially as we can still show a 'working' application
without it!). So, we now have CGI::Untaint to take care of a lot of
that for us.
.
It so happens that CGI::Untaint also plays well with Class::DBI. All
you need to do is to 'use Class::DBI::FromCGI' in your class (or in
your local Class::DBI subclass that all your other classes inherit
from. You do do that, don't you?). |
