Re: The Perl Monks Scrolls

I've been working on one of these myself. Mine uses a slightly modified PerlMonksTickers (see Automate your Perlmonks Activities), presents a threaded view sorted by section, and saves node information in a local database so that it can build the threads without beating up on the PerlMonks servers. I'm still working out a couple of kinks but I've been using it all day without any problems. You can try it out at http://nbpfaus.net/~pfau/PM.pl. There's some instructions at http://nbpfaus.net/~pfau/PerlMonksTools.html.

I like it! It's a little unfortunate about the additional logon, but it's required for the "I've seen all these" function. I wonder if that functionality is necessary, though? Personally, I don't expect to get through every node anymore. I'd like search and filter capability on newest nodes. Getting to every post is probably more important to those who need to review/approve/edit nodes, though.	[reply]

I just put up another version that doesn't require a login. It will give you the last day's worth of nodes when you connect and saves the time in a hidden field. When you press "I've seen these", it will show nodes created since the last update. Try it at http://nbpfaus.net/~pfau/PM2.html. `--- print map { my ($m)=1<<hex($_)&11?'
