PSC (Perl Secure Conf) is a setuid wrapper and Perl
module for securely passing configuration data to
Perl scripts, especially DBI passwords etc. The
wrapper opens a conf file, drops priviledge, and
then execs the Perl script, leaving the filehandle
available to the Perl script for reading (and writing,
if allowed). Config::Secure is a module (available on
CPAN as well) that initializes, and optionally parses
the config file. Please note this is still vera alpha,
yet seems to work smoothly.
