There is a lot of such dirt here. Lots of free perl scripts are like this.
And they are read by newbies to learn.
UBB won't scale well. They are doing linear searches on textfiles to find
users, where they load the whole file into memory.
We decided to go with yabb, after I had a look at these sources. We needed
to integrate it with our users database, and yabb has readable, structured
sources.
If you need info on getting yabb to run with PerlRun, send me a mail. I did
this and I might be able to find out what I did.
