Please do not forget to include that it is written in Perl; see other entries for example. You wrote in project's README.markdown that you were inspired by Gitosis (which requires Python and python-setuptools) and Documentation/howto/update-hook-example.txt (which uses bash). Why not contrib/hooks/update-paranoid (which is written in Perl)? Using Perl code for configuration is simple and fast, but not very secure. Why not use git config format (via "git config -l -z" like in gitweb), or YAML or JSON (or Storable)? Well, YAML might be overkill. BTW. if you blog about gitosis-lite (http://sitaramc.blogspot.com/) it could be picked up by Perl Iron Man Blogging challenge, and you could get wider review.
