  I'm with you. That would have cleaned the script up quite a bit.
  Unfortunately, in this situation, the developer has no control over the installed modules. He has to live with what he has, and in this case has to follow the FAQ on sending mail.
  dws [perl.org] pretty much hit it on the head with the inadequate (i.e., no) untainting/validation of the input.
  But yeah, if the situation was different, I'd definitely go with modules.
