  • Matt's Script Archive is a collection of CGI scripts written in Perl. Started in 1995 by Matt Wright, the archive contains about a dozen scripts, designed to be easily added to a site and configured. One of the scripts, FormMail, is claimed to be the most popular CGI script on the World Wide Web. The scripts in the archive have come under fire in recent years. As Perl 5 became more mature, norms in the community changed to encourage use of modules such as CGI.pm and code safety features such as strictures and taint checking; the scripts in Matt's Script Archive, however, did not follow these changes, and as a result (and also because Matt Wright wrote much of the code when he was a less-experienced programmer) tend to be buggy. Experienced Perl programmers usually recommend against the use of these scripts, and the London Perl Mongers started an effort called nms to write drop-in replacements for them.
