I'm sure Josh will have it up on the site within a day or two (update, at http:perlcast.com20070426perl-news-2007-04-27). Josh does a great job getting me a list of things to read. The fun part is that I can do it as time permits, which usually means "late". :) This time, I happened to be finishing up a 11-day stay in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, so I pulled out the laptop and the plantronics folding headset, and got...http://use.perl.org/~merlyn/journal/33098?from=rss $ instead of z in regex- April 16, 2007 Once again, I corrected a posting where someone had used $ instead of z to anchor a regex "at the end" in a way that would have opened up a potential security hole. (The string would have matched ".foon" as well as ".foo", which could have led to some interesting mismatches later.) I realize that this is a feature, but it's a subtle misfeature.
