in thread How to Post s Comment in Perl?

I could see a valid use for such a script.. An internal website where a status of some operation is posted. It would be handy if you were say, backing up a 3TB database and getting a notification of X many GB successfully written to tape/disk.

There could be other valid reasons.. but nothing comes to my caffeine addicted brain.

    Many of us will have written a program to automate something at one stage, obviously there are valid reasons for doing such things. From the wording of this post I don't think this is one of them.

    Update:

    By this I mean the message text "Perl Exploit WORKED BABE!", the email "Awesome@exploit.com", it just looks typical of (in this case wanna be) script kiddie nonsense.

    Minus the fact that it has "Perl exploit" blatantly included in the POST data.
