Not Matt's Script Archive

Many many moons ago, I (along with most of the web community) used to frequently call upon a great Perl script resource hosted by Matt Wright, more commonly known as "Matt's Script Archive".

Having a little micro-project coming up I needed a quick and easy form-to-email script much like Matt's original FormMail code - however, more Googling suggests that I (and most other people, according to the man himself) really ought to be using some much improved scripts over at nms in order to prevent lots of spam-type nastiness happening. Not to mention they're "better written and more secure".

Further to my earlier post about Despamming Shortstat, I've made a small update to the code that has a few improvements on the original.

"SQLite is different from most other SQL database engines in that its primary design goal is to be simple". Which isn't strictly true...
