What you need is similar to what I developed for my news ticker application. I wrote a Perl method to read a flatfile and generate the list of ticker items whenever new items are added. It also purges old items. You might consider developing a small flatfile dBase of your links. That would allow for some nifty management capabillities. You could also relate each to a date, relegating their status to something other than recent after 60 days. They could then be categorized on permanent pages. You could also track the number of times you have accessed each page. Gee,, there's lots of stuff you could do. I'd just use EZDB from ezperl.com and use a flatfile. Its easier to write the Perl backend utilities with a flatfile. -Steeeeeve
