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.

To see example output, go to http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~dwc3q/daily.html

Available (soon) on CPAN at:
$CPAN/authors/id/D/DC/DCOPPIT/

(Goto http://www.perl.org/ if you don't know how to get to CPAN.)
