In response to questions posted off-list, I will explain how to implement a
"conf" file to increase security if you are using this script.
Change these lines in the script:
my $USERID = ''; # your reseller id
my $PASS = ''; # your reseller password
to the following:
BEGIN {
do "<path_to_this_file>/password_script.conf";
}
then create a file at the location above with the USERID/PASS lines you cut
from the script. Of course you should replace path_to_this_file with the
actual path. Then chmod 600 the password_script.conf file. This should make
your setup of this script a bit more secure.
