scottobearWhy do we need a replacement for Matt's Script Archive?
The problem is that the scripts in Matt's Script Archive aren't very good. The scripts are well known amongst the Perl community to be badly written, buggy and insecure. Anyone asking for support on Matt's scripts in any forum will be told in no uncertain terms that they shouldn't use his scripts. The link above has a lovely collection of replacement scripts, that you can swap out in exchange for Matt's.
