This is a little silly for AOLserver, but dammit, I think better in Perl. What this feature does is provide the ability to call out to a script in the filesystem, and calls that script with the parameters from the URL.

I'll bet this is a security flaw. I'll just bet it is. So eventually, script calls will have to be subject to authorization of some sort, I'm sure. But in the meantime, it's going to be a useful way to get some spam display capabilities up for easier research.

Update: I implemented this yesterday. There's still plenty that could be done, but it sure is a convenient way to present the spam archive for the modbot.
