Well, I didn't recommend any special script from there.
Quite obviously the one you picked seems to be one of the
worst that are there. According to the index there are 51
guestbooks there, you said you just downloaded one of those.
Although I personally like depending on modules is a
valueable thing in such a repository I think that scripts
that don't need any other modules installed is a good thing.
People that are searching for such scripts usually don't
want to write ones themself and therefore depend on
solutions that are easy to install. Without depending on
modules makes the script even more useful to those guys. And
the wish that it should not depend on an SQL database or
flat file lets me think that the requester falls into this
category. YMMV.
Finally I still think that there should be reasonably
licenced stuff also in this list, I simply doubt that you
belief every thing in the world should be GPLed (or better
could). I also often dream of a brave new world ;-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
