superstopper, this is not worth much! It's a neat thing. Even if it will require source rewriting and fixing a bunch of your perl scripts - it's a easy job. SSL certificate might cost you, if you would like it signed by the authority, but you can have self-signed cert generated automatically. Even if this project have hidden difficulties - i take responsibility and do it for the same price - i just would like to acquire some feedback for my newly created user on scriptlance. see ya.
