I got a question concerning CGI scripts, i've been told that sh scripts are
way
more insecure than perl or c/c++ scripts. I find great to use the power of
shell
scripting and the ability to use commands in scripts and I just wondered why
they could be more insecure ? After all, a good shell scripts can be
flawless
just as a bad perl script can be dangerous...
