New variant against phpBB2?

Ran into some unusual behavior the other day one one of the servers I 
maintain.  Checking through the logs and files I encountered some hits 
that looked remarkably like the phpBB2 exploits that have been in 
circulation, and a directory in /var/tmp called /var/tmp/.sgurz which 
had 36 files named boink.nn (boink  through boink.36).  The files 
appeared to be very slight variants on the same worm.

Eg:

Variant 1:
#############################################################
#   Developed by br0k3d                                     #
#   For educational purpose only                            #
#   Based ( almost ripped ) at ASW Worm!                    #
#   Just made it fo study perl ;)                           #
#   2nd Version - Fuckz Google                              #
#   => [email protected] <=                                  #
#############################################################

Variant 2:
#############################################################
#   Developed by br0k3d                                     #
#   For educational purpose only                            #
#   Based ( almost ripped ) at ASW Worm!                    #
#   Just made it fo study perl ;)                           #
#   2nd Version - Fuckz Google                              #
#   3rd Version - modernbill version (was phpbb) from tillo #
#   => you can find me <=                                   #
#############################################################

Cleanup was straightforward.  The system was infected for about 12 hours 
before it was noticed and eradicated.  All files were dropped in 
/var/tmp and the site that was hosting the worm source was off the air 
by the time I found the infection.  I'm curious if anyone's seen this 
variant in the wild.

Cheers,
