The setuid bit in Unix permissions is mode 04000, the setgid bit mode 02000; either or both may be set. You can also enable taint mode explicitly by using the ESC[1m-T ESC[22mcommand line flag. This flag is ESC[4mstronglyESC[24m sugge sted for server" Even worse here is the output from perldoc perldoc: "ESC[1mNAMEESC[0m perldoc - Look up Perl documentation in Pod format.

In order to clean it up so that it is readable the user has to give perldoc the -t argument, but doesn't fully fix the formatting issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
