I have one (new-account) in Perl that need:
1. to be documented ;
2. to be modified to use the one-user/one-group scheme with a switch. 

Except for this two points, it runs fine:

new-account : Account Creation Program.
Copyright (c) 1993, 94  by Ollivier Robert (roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net)
Version 1.06.3 on 18/04/95.

Usage: 
new-account [options] login fullname group [group...]

Options:
    -N         doesn't execute anything, just show commands,
    -m         send greeting message to new user,
    -s shell   specifies the shell to use instead of /sbin/tcsh,
    -u uid     specifies une user-id to use (default is next free in class),
    -a alias   specifies the alias to put in /etc/mail/aliases,
    -p pwd     use that encrypted password,
    -q         be quiet and do not display messages.

Configuration file is /usr/local/etc/accountrc.
Group definition file is /usr/local/etc/groupdefs.

This version is even in  Perl4 so one can  use it with the standrad FreeBSD
Perl from /usr/bin.
