I remember a project mentioned on comp.lang.perl.misc about a year ago to rewrite some of the horrid scripts out there. I don't know if this ever made it out of the planning stages. Unfortunately, they called the project CRAP. I'm not sure what the acronym stood for, but it makes it almost impossible to find any information about it via the usual web searches.

As an aside, maybe we should create some basic tutorials on how to create a guestbook, form mailer, page counter, etc. since these things come up pretty often for new users. It seems like the monastery would be the perfect place for such a thing since we have a wealth of good programmers and an incredibly effective peer review system.
