Curated by Skill Harbor: comprehensive Perl security guidelines that turn Muse into a careful reviewer of Perl code touching user input, the shell, or the network. Starts where Perl security starts: taint mode (-T), tracking external data and forcing explicit validation before unsafe use, with the untainting regex pattern done right (and the lazy /(.*)/ called out as pointless). Then outward: allowlist-over-blocklist input validation with length constraints, ReDoS prevention (no nested quantifiers, possessive quantifiers, timeouts on untrusted patterns), safe file operations (three-argument open, lexical filehandles, TOCTOU and path traversal defenses), safe process execution (list-form system and exec, IPC::Run3, never string-form shell interpolation), SQL injection prevention (DBI placeholders everywhere, allowlisted dynamic columns, DBIx::Class safety), and web security (HTML::Entities output encoding per context, CSRF tokens, secure session config, security headers). Ships a perlcritic security configuration and a quick checklist table for reviews. Every rule comes with GOOD/BAD pairs, including the critical ones: two-arg open on user data, string-form system calls, interpolated SQL. Use when reviewing Perl input handling, process execution, DBI queries, or web-facing code (CGI, Mojolicious, Dancer2, Catalyst). By @affaan-m, listed here with credit to its creator. From the affaan-m/ECC repository (MIT). Honest caveats: a checklist, not a penetration test; Perl's flexibility demands discipline no skill can fully enforce; always review security code yourself and never paste real secrets into a chat. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Copy the install package below, then paste it into MuseThe install prompt below already includes the vetting steps: your agent follows the community checklist before installing anything with executable code. Want more?
Use "Perl Security" with your Muse. Prerequisites: none to install. Pure guidance; have the Perl code or handler you want reviewed ready. 1. Open the skill: https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC/blob/main/skills/perl-security/SKILL.md and copy the full SKILL.md text. 2. Paste it into a chat with Muse and add: "Review this Perl code for security issues: [paste code or describe the handler]." 3. Ask it to check taint mode, input validation, process execution, DBI queries, and output encoding, with GOOD/BAD pairs for each finding. Tip: run it on every handler that touches user input, the shell, or SQL. Safety: a skill is plain-text instructions; it runs nothing by itself. Never paste real secrets, credentials, or production data into a chat.

Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
