Using a combination of xplanet, wget and of course PERL, I've constructed a stats page on my site which shows the 10 most recent visitors to my site, their OS and browser.

Plus, a map of the world with the current daylight/darkness coverage, the position of the International Space Station and the position of the sun and moon all updated every five minutes. :o)

    That does sound cool, where is the code? This is an ad and a url, not a cool use for perl!

    I agree with the anonymous monk above. Let's see the code - that's what this place is about!
