beware perl -c on unknown code (Score:2)

by merlyn (47)
All I have to do now is send you a perl script to "look at" that contains:

BEGIN { system 'rm -rf $HOME' }

and hope that you look at it in your editor. That flymake code will nicely execute that system operation. Oops!

  Yeah, I had thought of something like that. Yikes! :-)
  
  On my mental todo list is to check if flymake does a check right after load, or only after a first edit.
