comments verification?

i've had Links 2 running for years trouble free (an extremely small site, mainly personal use and used really just for affiliated links for myself), however, i'm now being troubled by comment spammers on a daily basis (i've got less than 10 genuine comments and now getting about 40 extra a day.
It's easy enough to ban the IPs but is there an easy enough way to add some sort of verification to the Comments 4lite mod i've currently got installed
(my perl knowledge is rusty and knowing my way around Links 2 even worse - as it's been perfectly stable and fine i've not tinkered with it for ages).
Thanks in advance

Hello bs7,

Chat Andy up as he has a captcha developed and can custom develop something to fit your needs. His site is Ultranerds or you can find a bazzillion comments on this forum from him.

Hi Sandra,

This is on Links 2 :) (I don't tend to really do much work on Links2, as its a bugger to work with ;))

Cheers

thanks for the replies.

any idea with regards to even a crude 'please enter the code displayed to your right' type verification (even if the code is only changed manual) - where would i look to add that to the script?

any ideas at all would be very gratefully received OR any ideas that would allow me to waste their time and resources would be just as good

The captcha code would be easy to modify to work with comments.
