Subject: And now for something completely different ... Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2001 13:53:52 -0600 Message-ID: <39CF78DBFE15E141A9FE7DE61AE74D1C06555D@ctbs-hq1.hq.ctbs.net> From: "Brian Densmore" <DensmoreB@ctbsonline.com>
I have been reading about this new script language Ruby. It looks really
cool, but I have a few questions (which would be relevant to Perl|Python
also. It allows regular expressions. My concerns on this are, how can I
use such a language and protect myself from nasty little blue meanies
bent on destroying my computer. Say I have an online comments entry web
page. How do I protect myself from some kid typing in a regular
expression that resolves to say "rm -rf /".
