tainting provides a simpler interface to Taint::Runtime. The idea is so that there is no functions or variables to import. Just use or no, like warnings or strict. Tainting of %ENV will be done one time automatically the first time this module is used.

Please (PLEASE) read Taint::Runtime’s documentation first about the pro’s and con’s of enabling/disabling tainting at runtime. Use -T if you can.
