Perl
I have been using Perl now for over 10 years, since a University
friend gave me a quick intro into how useful it can be.
- Makelive
-
I am working on a website release system based loosely
on a system that we used to use on the first student run
web server at my University. More details on my progress
can be found here.
-
Parse::WebCounter
-
A simple perlmodule that can read back the value
of a standard graphical webcounter. More detail
can be found here.
- Seti
-
I have a number of machines in my home network and the
spare CPU cycles are currently dedicated to the
Seti Project
.
Obviously being involved in that is all about the stats
so I have written a number of simple Perl scripts to
extract current user and group stats from the XML feeds
that the seti server supplies. There are pages on the
seti server to display the data already, but I wanted
to play and not have to browse the site to get the
stats all the time. I have three scripts at the moment.
- getstat.pl
-
Grabs the data for a particular user (by email
address) and prints it to the screen.
- getstats.pl
-
Grabs the stats for a particular group (by name)
and lists all the users in order of most
reported blocks.
- storestats.pl
-
Similar to getstats.pl, however instead of
printing out the results it stores the data in
a database. You can then run it daily as a cron
job and collect a nice amount of data for
generating graphs of your progress against the
progress of fellow team mates (will be working
on these analysis scripts next).
