Can be dangerous Convert all of these to use "safe_qx" (perl 5.6 compatible): sub safe_qx { defined (my $pid = open my $kid, "-|") or die "Cannot fork: $!"; unless ($pid) { # child does: exec @_; die "Cannot exec @_: $!"; } my $result = do { local $/; <$kid> }; close $kid; # sets $? return $result; } my $result = safe_qx('some shell command'); my $other_result = safe_qx('git-ls-tree', '-r', '-z', $gitrev, $srcpath); Args are safe, as if being passed to system/exec, so a single arg can be a shell command, multiargs are passed arg-by-arg to a single exec target. $? is set correctly. -- Randal L.
