in reply to Attack on Perl or Perl's need better PR (again)

In my opinion, Webmin is a bad idea anyway and is an obvious target due to its purpose. It's an unnecessary application (if you have competent sys admins) and flaws will be found in applications of its nature, regardless of what language it's written in.

I understand why people are attracted to it, but they need to understand it's another doorway into their systems. The less doors you have, the less you have to secure.

    Unless you're running a shared webhost and have to give many people access to settings on their accounts.
