Accessing a Perl CGI script, security issue
Hi Everybody,

I was wondering if it was possible for someone to gain access to my Perl CGI scripts before they are interpreted by Perl (mod_perl on apache2) i.e. getting a hold of my raw scripts and not the html output?

Let's say I use the DBI module where I have the hostname, user and password stored in my CGI script (currently I store these parameters in another file and the user only has select privileges anyway), is there a way to prevent someone from getting the script as it is (if it is possible)?

Many thanks,

Dave

::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::CDBI(3User Contributed Perl DocumentaCGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::CDBI(3pm)

NAME

       CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::CDBI - Class::DBI Authentication Driver

VERSION

       Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

	 use base qw(CGI::Application);
	 use CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication;

	 __PACKAGE__->authen->config(
	   DRIVER => [ 'CDBI',
	     CLASS   => 'My::CDBI::Users',
	     FIELD_METHODS => [qw(user MD5:passphrase)]
	   ],
	   CREDENTIALS => [qw(auth_username auth_password)],
	 );

DESCRIPTION

       This Authentication driver uses the Class::DBI module to allow you to authenticate against any Class::DBI class.

PARAMETERS

       The Class::DBI authentication driver accepts the following required parameters.

   CLASS (required)
       Specifies the Class::DBI class to use for authentication. This class must be loaded prior to use.

   FIELD_METHODS (required)
       FIELD_METHODS is an arrayref of the methods in the Class::DBI class specified by CLASS to be used during authentication. The order of these
       methods needs to match the order of the CREDENTIALS. For example, if CREDENTIALS is set to:

	 CREDENTIALS => [qw(auth_user auth_domain auth_password)]

       Then FIELD_METHODS must be set to:

	 FIELD_METHODS => [qw(userid domain password)]

       FIELD_METHODS supports filters as specified by CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver

METHODS

   verify_credentials
       This method will test the provided credentials against the values found in the database, according to the Driver configuration.
