Hi,


Chapter: Secure Programming Techniques:
===============================

Section: Taint checking
----------------------------------

Under taint-checking, Perl doesn't let me use unchecked data from outside
the
source code to affects things outside the program
===> inside

This should be checked through all the section, mean, outside-inside

Taint checking is a tool, not a cure. It tells me where I need to do some
work.
Have I said hat enough
yet?
===> that


Section: List forms of system and exec:
----------------------------------------------------------

Taint checking can catch this but its still up to me to untaint it
correctly. As
I've shown, I can't have to rely on taint checking to be
safe. ===> I can't rely on...


Section: The argument open:
------------------------------------------

My previous opens where problems because the filename... ====>
were problems?

Section: Limit special Privileges:
-----------------------------------------------

and they depend on your particular operating system and you'd do the same
thing with other languages too.
===> I would change this phrase.

Section: Summary:
----------------------------

I would with any other programming.
===> I would add 'language'.


Chapter: brian's Guide to Solve Any Perl Problem
====================================

Do you have the right version of the module? =====> There is a nice
hack from the book Perl Hacks.

Have you checked Google? =====> IRC?
Perlmonks?


Chapter: Logging
============

Section: Recording errors and other information
--------------------------------------------------------------------

show the on the screen, send the to a system ======> send them

I would also mention Log::Dispatch :-) (( if so, I can provide examples))


Section: Log4perl
-------------------------

First example output is wrong:

2006/10/22 19:26:20 This goes to the screen ===> 2006/10/22 19:26:20
I've something to say

Section: Configuring Log4perl
-------------------------------------------

Before the example config file, I think it should be said that what follows
is a config file for Log4perl.



Regards,

Florian
