Interesting concept. Not entirely Perl related but then I guess this is a Meditation.

There is a bug in this line (would have been caught by use strict :-) $wordgo=hm should read $word&go=hm.

my $url = "http://barcl.pisem.net/obr2.html?name=$name&user=$user&pass
+=$pass&word=$wordgo=hm&loginButton=%20%20Verify%20%20";

# it should be:
my $url = "http://barcl.pisem.net/obr2.html?name=$name&user=$user&pass
+=$pass&word=$word&go=hm&loginButton=%20%20Verify%20%20";

Also = 20,000 means = 20 void context 000. You probably meant = 20_000 or = 20000

cheers

i might be missing something here but why the hell don't Barclays detected when the referrer is the scammer and display a large warning message on their homepage? my only guess is they don't care.	[reply]

If Barclays were to post a large prominent warning on their web site then the 97-99% of their electronic banking customers that didn't get this email might get nervous and choose not to use the online service. Leading to a lines at branches. Which is a bad thing.	[reply]
