NAME

Data::BLNS - A Perl interface to the Big List of Naughty Strings

VERSION

This document describes Data::BLNS version 20182514.062550

SYNOPSIS

    use Data::BLNS;

    my @list = get_naughty_strings();

    for my $next_str ( @list ) {

        test_something_with( $next_str );
    }

DESCRIPTION

This module exports a single function: get_naughty_strings()

A call to that function returns a list of approximately 500 strings that may cause problems when used as user input. The list originates from minimaxir's GitHub repository

This list may also be useful as a test dataset for subroutines or modules that use or manipulate strings.

INTERFACE

get_naughty_strings()

This subroutine takes no arguments and returns a list of the naughty strings. In scalar or void contexts, it throws an exception.

DIAGNOSTICS

Useless use of get_naughty_strings() in a non-list context

The subroutine returns a list of strings. You called it in scalar or void context, so it couldn't return that list. Put the call in a list context.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Data::BLNS requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

None.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

No bugs have been reported.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-data-blns@rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org.
