You dont need a perl script to hide AKA's - it's a config option. Although IIRC, you were playing with a perl script that enhanced the hide AKA option that binkd provides.

On FSX Hub 3, it's a hub for multiple networks, but when anybody in FSX connects to it, it'll hide the AKA's for the other networks that are not common with the hub. The side effect is, if more than 1 address is in common (and thus presented), then the password must be the same for each, otherwise you get that "invalid password" type message.
