When I installed that particular script, I didn't know any Perl. I had someone else set it up and I just did the ftping and chmods. I know more Perl now, but am far from proficient. I downloaded a script from the sourceforge site that looks like it's goal is to immulate the Kruse script without the security holes.
I am also looking into learning PHP as well. I should have lots of time to read. I'm having major surgery next week and will be out of work anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks depending on how well and fast I heal.
