Ronald's answer is good, it'll take care of your needs.  In answer to
your second question: no, you can't turn on tainting at runtime in
response to some condition.  It's too late for that. =) 

Tainting needs to be turned on at compile time in order to be effective,
so Perl requires that that's the only time it *can* be turned on.
