You shame me. I'll have to pour over it before I make a more detailed comment, but here's my version of a similar thing. I didn't make it into a package, and it still has a few problems.
<p>
I just have it run in a window in the background so that I can lookup anything I miss when I don't reload fast enough. Comments appreciated!
<CODE>
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
my($newmessages, $oldmessages);
while(1){
get("http://www.perlmonks.org/")=~/<!-- nodelets start here -->(.*)/s;
$_=$1;
my(@nodelet)=split(/<!--Nodelet Break -->/);
foreach (@nodelet){
if (/Chatterbox/){
s/\n//g;
s/\r//g;
while(m%(<b><</b>|<i>)<a href=[^>]*>([^<]*)</a>(<b>></b>)?(.*?)(</i>)?<br>%ig){
if(!defined($oldmessages->{"$2:$4"})){
$newmessages->{"$2:$4"}=1;
print "$2: $4\n";
}
}
last;
}
}
undef $oldmessages;
$oldmessages=$newmessages;
undef $newmessages;
sleep(15);
}
</CODE>
