CGIs running on Windows

Since we have been discussing CGIs here, I would like to address a certain issue. We all know how dangerous CGI scripts can be - and we have seen many examples of it - and will for a long time. However it seems like the authors of CGIs take security less seriously if their script is meant for Windows - i.e. when doing open's. Does this mean that a: open FILE, "$some_user_controllable_input; is secure on a machine running Windows? At least on machine running *nix it would be a big security hole. thanks! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
