Like always: the more something gets used (phpBB, Microsoft Windows), the more malicious attacks will be written for(/against) it...

Well that is sort of the point I was making, as to why Perl is better than PhP ( or linux is better than MSWindows). It allows you to have more variation in your scripts, making it much less susceptible to attack because everyone is using the same "canned code". Nature dosn't make everything "all according to the same recipe"...it introduces tremendous variations so that one attack vector dosn't wipe out everything. Perl's strength is it's "variations".
