Forgive me mine, for it scares me some nights to think it may survive still. The one that scares me the most thinking about it was a script I wrote about 4-5 years ago (well before I knew of the Monastery). At the time, a gentleman who did web design asked if I could write a replacement for CGI he used to send submitted web form input to a site's owner via email. (The CGI he had previously used was a compiled binary, and would not work on the new platform he was moving to.) The list of scary features (that I can recall) included:
Probably the only saving grace for it was that it did not try to parse its own form input, instead using CGI.pm. While I do not yet know the proper pentience for that monstrosity (or even if it still exists), I think the note it placed against my karma may take some time still to requite.
