NAME tainting - (DEPRECATED) Enable taint mode lexically VERSION This document describes version 0.031 of tainting (from Perl distribution tainting), released on 2021-08-06. SYNOPSIS To enable tainting in a lexical block: { use tainting; # tainting is enabled } # tainting is disabled again To disable tainting in a lexical block: use tainting; { no tainting; # tainting is disabled } # tainting is enabled again DESCRIPTION DEPRECATION NOTICE: tainting.pm is broken and will be purged from CPAN because the lexical switching is done at compile time while tainting is performed at runtime. Please see Taint::Runtime and localize $TAINT instead. This module provides a simpler interface to Taint::Runtime. The idea is so that there is no functions or variables to import. Just "use" or "no", like warnings or strict. Tainting of %ENV will be done one time automatically the first time this module is used. Please (PLEASE) read Taint::Runtime's documentation first about the pro's and con's of enabling/disabling tainting at runtime. TL;DR: Use -T if you can.
