Here's one that figure out the total ammount of node XP on PM, how many days it would take a Saint to get that many votes, and the position of the total number in pi (thanks to LWP::UserAgent and http://www.angio.net/pi/piquery).

my $PI_URI = 'http://www.angio.net/pi/bigpi.cgi'; # Fill this in with the rep stats hash from parent node my %REP_STATS = ( . . . ); my $total_rep; while( my ($key, $value) = each %REP_STATS ) { $total_rep += $key * $value; } my $saint_days = $total_rep / 40; my $in_pi = do { use LWP::UserAgent; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; # Couldn't get proper param passing to work, so work-around # by making the query string ourselves. Fix later. # my $response = $ua->get( $PI_URI . "?UsrQuery=$total_rep" ); local $_ = $response->content; m!The string <B>\Q$total_rep\E</b> was found at position (\d+) +!; $1; }; print "Total XP: $total_rep"; print "Saint Days: $saint_days"; print "In pi at: $in_pi";

For the record, I got:

Total XP: 4068710 Saint Days: 101717.75 In pi at: 3246447
