Hi, I've created a perl script to automate and log the process of adding and deleting users, and changing their passwords for certain directories, using .htaccess and .htpasswd files. This isn't really a question, as I only want your opinion. It works perfectly, for my needs.

Anyway, here's the source: http://www.pinetreenet.com/misc/Perl.txt

So, it's just a little script to manipulate permissions for given directories (just configure .htaccess files to point to the .htpasswd file the script edits), but I thought the input from you people, most of whom have likely used Perl much longer than I have, would be interesting. Note that the < and > sequences in the text are replaced by < and >, in my Perl. I just inserted those so it wouldn't make your browser choke, as it was mine. Thanks in advance for the feedback.
