Free Perl scripts

[Damian]

try matts scripts archive, forget the url

Maybe someoen could correct me if I am wrong, but don't Matt's Scripts
have some big nasty security holes? I thought I saw complaints about it
once. Maybe someone can verify for me.

Please dont use Matt Garnish's awful awful buggy scripts unless you
cherish using code with broken security (read non existant.)

Oh great, a site with buggier scripts than matts scripts... good grief.

Stay away from this one like the plague folks.

You do realize that the infamous Matt is Matt Wright and (I am assuming) is
not the same person as Matt Garrish who regularly contributes to this
forum.

Why does your PGP sig code report as invalid?

It's an Outlook Express thing.

For that matter why even use PGP for usenet?

For the same reason I use it in regular mail, honestly.

In the end the PGP output ends up as plain text in the message body which
cna easily be faked, so why even bother using it then?

There is no (published) means by which an RSA signature can be faked.

Karsten Self wrote a pretty good answer to "why":

I think he was kind of agitate when he wrote it, but the basic message rings
true.

It has other uses outside of usenet of course, don't get me wrong about
that, but seems completely pointless for usenet.

I respectfully disagree. I sign all of my outbound messages. If you find
an unsigned message claiming to be from me, assume that it is forged.

That was harsh, and you didn't even get my last name right... : (

(I saw your followup, though, and apology accepted!)
