Insecure Dependency?!
|
Can't Post
|
|
Hi,
I've started to lern perl and I'm trying to write a *very* simple guestbook http://onlinelogbook.tripod.com/form.html but when I try and submit a message I get the error: "Insecure dependency in open while running with -T switch at ./form.pl line 20."
Line 20 is where I have: open (WRITE, ">messages/$number");
Messages are stored in files within the "messages" directory, numbered sequentially. The number of messages stored is held in "messageno.dat". When a submission is made the script reads in messageno.dat and assigns the value to $number. It then increments $number and tries to execute line 20, opening a new file to put the form fields in.
Simple, eh? So why the error? There are two more scripts (readmail.pl and readmail2.pl) which work fine.
Any help would be much appretiated,
Gus
# full code for form.pl
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
# open file to see how many messages there are
open( FILEIN, "<messages/messageno.dat" );
# put contents of file (i.e. number) into variable
$number = <FILEIN>;
# don't need the file anymore
close( FILEIN );
# increment the variable
$number = $number + 1;
# open the dat file, this time for writing
open( FILEOUT, ">messages/messageno.dat" );
# put the new number of messages back in the dat file
print FILEOUT "$number";
# don't need it anymore
close( FILEOUT );
# open a new file to write to
open( WRITE, ">messages/$number" );

$Query_String = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
# use "&" to split args into an array
@NameValuePairs = split (/&/,$Query_String);
