Log Talker

Thought of a great idea to annoy lazy web developers. now if I only had speakers on my work PC.. hmm..

ssh rfb@webhost 'tail -f /var/log/httpd/webhost/error_log' | perl -MWi
+n32::OLE -ne "BEGIN{$v=Win32::OLE->new('SAPI.SpVoice')} s/\[.*?\]//g;
+s/\/\S+(?=\/)//g;print\"$_\n\";$v->Speak($_)";
[download]

ActivePerl + Cygwin + Busy error_logs
