Blazer, I think you should make it open-source.
This is not RenGuard so you don't have a reason to make it closed-source, right?
mac tell me he love Open Source & GPL. Blazer, as a member of BHS, you should learn from your good friend, and make this open-source. This will help the Renegade Community.

Question: Why Perl and not PHP? I think that PHP is more widely used.

PHP is more widely used for web applications, whereas perls main dominion is command line applications. Perl is well suited for things like this, and it's many built-in and addon functions for things like crc32 and other complex math, plus me being fairly adept at Perl, made it the logical choice. Pretty much any unix OS either has Perl installed by default or is available in the base package set, so I don't think anyone will have any problems running it.

I'm a PHP engineer. As what I know, Perl DO NOT have any built-in functions for complex encryption and maths function. What you can do is download modules for it. But on the other hand, PHP have dozen of built-in functions, such as sha1() , md5() and crc32() . These PHP functions are really BUILT-IN and you don't need to use it with any module.
Your brenbot is packed with par, that means no perl installation is needed, so pre-installed perl or not is not a problem.
I strongly suggest you write this in PHP. With PHP, you have easy access to the Internet without calling sockets directly. PHP will handle the socket for you. Any URL is accepted as filename and it allow us to treat URLs as normal files. For example, we can fopen('http://www.somewebsite.abc/file.ext','r'); in PHP! Can you do this in Perl? NO. PHP code is programmer-friendly and it have a good error reporting system, but perl do not. PHP is the next generation of scripting language, perl is outdated and unloved. As what you can see, this forum is using PHP-based script but not a Perl CGI. PHP is fast, stable and powerful, use PHP is much more better than Perl in any situation.

Thanks blazer for the xwisp! My dream comes true!

<Ghostshaw> duh
<Ghostshaw> its awesome
<Ghostshaw> cheat the cheaters :P
