Just to throw jet fuel on the fire... cuz they come up on a google search for:
cgi perl counter and nms doesn't! :) Seriously, I do use them (ok, did until now) because they're handy, don't spew errors and I can understand the code. Now that I know they have problems, probably not anymore... 'course I need to look over the nms scripts to see what I need to do to make them "mine" but... :-D Just for the record, when I started using MSA, over 4 years ago nms didn't exist and I used them for the reasons listed above. I was a sysadmin, am a sysadmin and my job isn't to audit every stick of code in the world... It's to run systems as securly as possible. Until I hear something about a serious deficit in a chunk of code, I use it. If the problem is simply that the code is considered old and crufty... well, on that basis; Do I really need to say it?
