Probably true.

I'm not even going to bother, not because your suggestion isn't good,
but because this is just a home DSL account with Verizon where (a) the
personal web space is a freebie they toss in on the expectation that
most customers aren't going to use it or expect anything other than
what Verizon offers them in terms of functionality and (b) I have
never yet gotten Verizon to respond to an e-mail -- and they have
never provided me with the phone number for a help desk. Because I
expect so little of Verizon, I want to have as little to do with them
as possible and want the solution to be under my control as much as
possible, which means doing it in Perl.
