Xref: usenet.cise.ufl.edu comp.lang.perl.announce:186 comp.lang.perl.modules:6434 DailyUpdate 4.2: DailyUpdate grabs dynamic information from the internet and integrates it into your webpage. You specify special HTML tags in a template file, which then get replaced by the acquired data. It's also easy to extend the script to handle new data sources. Features include timeouts to handle dead servers without hanging the script, user-defined update times, modular and extensible design, and compatibility with cgi-wrap.
