Quite a few remarks... thank you! 1. No warnings. I still haven't looked into the module programming, so I don't know what to do with the 'import' stuff. Has been moved into my 'todo' list....

2. Indeed, the function is called twice. Normally, CPU time is no issue, it's only two minutes/day MAX. And I think most time is spend waiting for the HTML content.

3. If any connection or whatever fails, the script is simply terminated with a die. No problems from that perspective (ie, a terminated script) thusfar.

4. If a content is not matched, the filter just returns an empty array, and only the 'templates' ar logged/mailed. The filter routine, and the parse routine are quite simple, just some coupled regex's that fill some arrays. If something goes wrong, an array will be empty, that's all. If a connection fails, the script will die().
