Firstly perlmonks is not an ideal place to be asking questions about the NMS programs, we have a support mailling list which is read by the developers at nms-cgi-support@lists.sourceforge.net, I can't speak for any of the other project members but I certainly don't have time to scan every possible place that Perl might be discussed in order to answer questions about NMS.

Yes there was what would appear to be a copy and paste error in the cookielib that has gone undetected for quite a long period of time. This code was contributed as-is by a single developer and it was only subsequently amended to conform to the 'house style' and to fix an obvious bug.

The typo in the cookie creation code poses no security risk, it simply means that it doesn't work in the way that is described in the README. As you noted above after you pointed this out on the mailing list I fixed this mistake and made a new release.

If you wish to contribute to the NMS project please feel free to contact us in the manner described on the project web site.
