I took the question to be twofold:
- Can this be done in Perl in this fashion?
- If not, is this other method (that I know I can do in Perl) a good solution?
Even though the answer to the first question is No, I answered it because I think being honest about the limitations of Perl (or HTTP, in this case) is valuable, and because I found the implied second question interesting.
Giving people alternate approaches which can be done in Perl is a big plus, in my book. | [reply] |
That's what I also thought at first. But, although the original
question was not directly perl-related,
many of the answers involved discussion of Perl programming and
perl data structures (the queue/stack thing). So it ended up
being perl-related :-)

Hi,
I found a way round that ...
It's not nice, but I keep track of the time the user posted something.
After a that period of time it scannes the file an removes the user from the list.
But You'll see lurkers. The script get's the ip/hostname from the users watching and not logged in.
If you want some help, mail me...Because the script consists of several files.

My opinions may have changed,
but not the fact that I am right
