Question

Hi all,

I'm trying to make the SoapClientPlugin Extension run. I have installed the SOAP::Lite Perl Module and its dependencies. Also under "Plugin Diagnostics" in my Twiki Web the SoapClientPlugin is listed with "none" errors. But when I try to make a SOAP call only this message appears:

"TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

Insecure dependency in eval while running with -T switch"

In the logfiles of TWiki there si some more information:

I have googled very much regarding Perl Taints, -T options and so on. But none of the suggested solutions helped me to solve my problem. I'm a novice in regards of Perl and this sophisticated server stuff.

So maybe there is someone who can point me to the right direction to fix this issue? That would be very helpful.

Thanks! Georg

I am getting precisely this problem- and also have no idea what to do about it. It would seem that SOAP::Lite is not taint-safe, but I am loath to turn of taint checking. Do none of the gurus have a brainwave about this?

(Actually not precisely- I'm trying to make some direct calls to SOAP::Lite...)

-- JonathanManning - 10 Jul 2008

Okay, I HAVE found a solution to this, but only because the problem seems to be specific to the more recent versions of SOAP::Lite. It went away when I downgraded SOAP::Lite by use of CPAN and the following:

> install B/BY/BYRNE/SOAP/SOAP-Lite-0.60a.tar.gz
