In one of my scripts that I am developing I have a field where the needs
to supply which my include forward slashes and hyphens. I understand the
inherent security risk of allowing such things and so does the taint
check... I'm sure the answer to this is really simple and I'm just over
looking it (or even over complicating things) but here is what I have
tired to get it to work:
if ( $Cookie_path =~ /^([-\@\w\/\-.]+)$/ ) {
$Cookie_path = $1;
} else {
die "Incorrect format";
}
