Yes indeed. Perl is used in the config script, as you saw it, and
failpass is used on it to warn the user if he failed to confirm his new
wiki administrator password.

Yes, indeed. This script was written in Perl by a previous maintainer,
and I did not feel the need to rewrite it, as I think it is easier to
maintain such a script in Perl, because it contains a real logic,
contrary to the other maintainer scripts, roughly.
