articles for major publications. Been
active in the Perl community for a
decade, hosted a conference and do more
than you know. I just found this site,
and if your tutorial is an example of
what is published here, then I wish I
hadn't found it. Your article is
terrible and a disservice to beginners.
The security "functions" you show
aren't basic, they are not correct.
Don't post articles which are not
correct, and stop deleting my comments,
as I will not stop so people can be
warned NOT to read this tutorial since
they will learn nothing. You should
remove your article, it has no
substance and your example are
insecure. That doesn't help anyone.
