I quite like that idea.

And if you really want to push that, you'll provide a web service that creates such a snippet. (If I get the tuits I'll do it, but that might take quite some time).

For example you provide a service at http://mydomain.com/perllinks?ip=$ip;links=5, and that returns just a snippet of valid xhtml that contains up to 5 perl links, complete with nice css classes.

Then anybody who wants to provide such a service just has to query your server.

Of course, the more possibilities you provide the more people will adopt that.

Update Nice work, really. I'd prefer a pure html version though (I kinda hate javascript), but it's a start ;-)

In the copy&paste code you should use absolute URLs, so that it works on different hosts as well.

The generated HTML lacks some markup (lists should made as <ul>...</ul>) and css classes.

On the homepage I'm missing a contact link, for example to propose new links and for technical questions/suggestions.

I know it's a beta, so maybe I'm stating the obvious...
