zane has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a website, and I want to be able to monitor the accesses, and various usage patterns of my visitors, and characteristics of their environments. I want to be able to post the stats on the web page in an attractive, simple, easy to understand graphical format. (I know, there's almost no traffic at the site, I'm in the process of building it - I've been keeping my things here for the last couple of years, but figured it was time for a new look...)

I currently use sitemeter which has served me well, but doesn't actually save much information. I want archives, and I'd like to be able to customize the behaviour more, and I want it stored and run locally. Does anyone know of a Perl based solution to this problem? I've had a look around at CPAN to no avail, as well as here. Any help greatly appreciated!

    One of my pet projects has an admin part that does Statistics... Visitor IPs, Browser types, Referers etc.

    <REALISTIC MODE>Yes, the code sucks but that's how I like it</REALISTIC MODE>
