Yes, you are missing something ;-)

You added a line to my code: 

 next unless /$channel/;

[download]
The problem is that line is in the wrong place, and probably does not do what you think it is doing.

You are checking the value of $channel before that value is set as intended by my original code. You have also declared $channel twice.

The other line you mangled now reads 

 my $time = dateconv($id);

Please try to understand the code, before you choose to modify it.

Now that I have made parson, I'm less motivated to spoon-feed beyond this point.

Update: Use mr_mischief's(++) excellent update to my code.
