Nice idea. :-)

When I ran the program I noticed that some users were missing from the list. This is due to the regex that extracts the usernames. This is a bit better: 

    # Don't strip the tags
    #$html =~ s/<.*?>//gs ;

    my (@users) =  $html =~ /<td>by\s[^>]+>([^<]+)/gs ;

    # Or this if there are Perlmonks with "<" in their username
    my (@users) =  $html =~ m[<td>by\s[^>]+>(.*?)</a>]gs ;
