Speaking as someone with a random sequence of letters as his domain name
(movspclr), if this is the case, I suggest that said script not be used.
Similarly, the Richard said that he wasn't sure how it was generated. Using
perl scripts that you don't understand on a live system is unwise.

And finally, this has very little relevance to RISC OS perl. Whilst the
list is quiet, I think it would be best to at least try to stay on topic.
I hardly think that anyone searching the perl.org archives wants to know
about some particular script running or not on a propably long dead system.
