As long as you stick to unsubstantiated claims and vague links leading nowhere, I call you a troll spreading FUD. Are you referring to opinions on Win32::Process::Hide, and think it's bad because hiding processes is what some malware does? If yes, I must say that it's a tool, and there may well be legitimate use cases. Just like port scanners, which are sometimes slammed as "hacker tools", but really useful in practice. At the very least the module is not malicious in the sense that it does harm to your system without indicating so in the documentation. Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed	[reply]

No thanks, I said I didn't want to promote the module, and that post mentions it by name and links to it. Its a root post by me with two ::, its on the bottom of the first results page. Feel free to link to it if you like.	[reply]

Well, there's nothing like security through obscurity to improve safety, right? ;)	[reply]
