RATS scans source code, finding potentially dangerous function calls. The goal of this project is not to definitively find bugs. The current goal is to provide a reasonable starting point for performing manual security audits. Produced by [0]Secure Software" Uses a database so you can alter what you want it to look for. Not a replacement for using stricture or your head but is a good place to start some security auditing on your Perl.
