Re: PATH environment variable is set to '/bin:/usr/bin' even innon-tainted mode
Hi,
This message is in answer to bug #289983, please read it [1] for
background information.
I am Cc:ing the Debian Perl list, as I am interested in other opinions
about this.
I do not think the current behavior should be seen as a bug - This
module is set to specify its working path, and I'd like to leave it in
place. However, I agree, it should _not_ mess with your environment -
Instead of your patch (which does not really solve the situation, in a
tainted environment you would end up exactly the same way you are
now), I'd rather use this:
--- lib/MIME/Lite.pm 2004-12-17 09:41:27.582131640 -0600
+++ /tmp/Lite.pm 2005-03-02 16:41:20.708054824 -0600

+local %ENV = %ENV;

$ENV{PATH} = '/bin:/usr/bin';
#==============================
Do you agree? Does somebody disagree or have a better idea?
Thanks,
