There are way better products (compared to the homecrafted one you want to
make) to remotely admin your system, if that's what you want:

SSH, VNC, etc.

Before you re-invent the wheel, take a look at http://webmin.com/

I would recommend that people who are idiots and who suck at Perl should
not run Perl scripts under super-user privileges.

That's the beauty of localhost.

Please quote an appropriate amount of the message you are replying to.

Webmin does run on your local machine. No internet connection needed,
except to download it of course.

Good lord, has it ever occurred to you that systems that can be used
remotely can also be used locally?
