I've never used Cold Fusion nor Linkbot so I can't answer those questions.

I think your question is what is easiest? With all the tools out there, there are 1,001 ways to do just about any web site administration task. You are not traversing roads less traveled. But what is best/easiest for you depends on your skill level. If you are very familiar with Perl, I'd point you to Lincoln Stein's script at http://stein.cshl.org/~lstein/talks/perl_conference/cute_tricks/mirror2.html and tell you that it could be pretty easily modified to count the number of .html documents in a tree directory on the Internet or on your hard drive. But if you are not that familiar with Perl, than you probably want to spend 30 min. to an hour trying to find a pre-existing module that has the precise functionality you are looking for. For instance, I just found http://search.cpan.org/author/AWRIGLEY/sitemapper-1.019/lib/WWW/Sitemap.pm. I don't know if it will do exactly what you want. However, there are dozens more modules that deal with web document administration but you need to search cpan.org to find them. And that's where you come in to play. Good luck.
