feel the need to continue to vilify the mistakes made by one 15? y/o, 5 years ago who tried to help his fellow netizen's by giving away some code he wrote?

Here, here. It should also be mentioned that since then Mr. Wright has attempted to right some of these wrongs by admitting the faults in his scripts and promoting better alternatives such as the NMS scripts (which are horribly named, marketing people, it matters).

The simple fact is that if Matt Wright's buggy scripts from back then became widespread it's our fault. It's my fault, it's your fault, it's the entire Perl community's fault. If you really cared you would have provided superior alternatives and, more importantly, raised awareness about them. Simply saying they're unacceptable while letting people use them is, well, unacceptable.

So next time you criticize Matt, maybe mention why he beat you (and me, and everyone else) and why this won't happen in the future.
