Dear Netizens,

I am almost ready to launch my own home page which contains an 
interactive Web spot requiring a Perl script. However my system 
administrator will not accept Perl because of the alleged security 
problems. My own research reveals that most interactive Web pages - 
approximately 80% - use Perl scripts to execute them. Thus I require 
advice on the following matters:

1. What security hazard does Perl actually pose?

2. How do I rectify the problem i.e. where can I get a suitable CGI 
   script?

3. Is there anybody out there who is prepared to assist me in putting
   together a CGI-bin script for a fee? I live in Melbourne, Australia.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!!!!!

Regards, Frank C.
