Perl Security: 8. Randomly organized extras
Rain.Forest.Puppy

Rain.Forest.Puppy's fine paper 'Perl CGI problems' (http://www.phrack.com/show.php?p=55&a=7) was written in September 1999 - and is worryingly and surprisingly still valid. It covers interesting topics, such as

Poison NULL byte - Exploit Perl misunderstanding something that the C library will choke on

(Back)slash and burn - Many conscious users have validation regexes to which they forget adding a backslash. This explains how dangerous can this be.
