From: Philip Mak Date: 2002-06-05T05:15:13+09:00 Subject: How safe is $SAFE=4? How safe is $SAFE=4? I read the description of $SAFE in "Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide" and it sounds like $SAFE is specifically designed for running code from untrusted sources. So, if I put a form on a website that executes whatever code people put into it with $SAFE=4, would this be safe? (Is there a good webpage that talks about the use of $SAFE further?)
