If you find a bug, tell me. If it is an exploit, this goes double (feel free to take me literally there). All I ask is that you give me one week to fix it. If, for some reason I can't fix it in a week, and depending on the severity of the bug, I may ask you to lay off it a little longer. As a rule of thumb, any advantages I can prove came from exploiting the code will be removed. Other consequences may also result depending on the severity of the bug.

I LIKE to know about bugs. This is because I don't LIKE bugs ;P. I have been a programmer for all of 4 years, and have already developed an instinctive dislike for bugs (in code I'm responsible for... exploits in other pps code are fair game ;)). I do not mind people finding bugs, and I do like people helping me fix bugs.

This site may be relevant:
http://www.netropolis.org/hash/perl/virtue.html (particularly the third virtue)

Anyway, please let me know if you either encounter or "encounter" a bug so I can fix it as soon as possible. And thank you in advance to the people that do :).

Just so the others don't need to look it up.......

Virtues of a Perl Programmer
Laziness, Impatience, Hubris

According to Perl folklore, the three great virtues of a programmer are Laziness, Impatience and Hubris, in that order. Randal Schwartz explains, in The Camel book:

LAZINESS: The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure. It makes you write labor-saving programs that other people will find useful, and document what you wrote so you don't have to answer so many questions about it. Hence, the first great virtue of a programmer.

IMPATIENCE: The anger you feel when the computer is being lazy. This makes you write programs that don't just react to your needs, but actually anticipate them. Or at least that pretend to. Hence, the second great virtue of a programmer.

HUBRIS: Excessive pride, the sort of thing Zeus zaps you for. Also the quality that makes you write (and maintain) programs that other people won't want to say bad things about. Hence, the third great virtue of a programmer.
