Does any one use PERL or Python or Ruby?
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 /"?
TIA,
