Here is my Perl-script to monitor my own progress:

use strict;

die "usage:  perl $0 monk password seconds\n" unless $#ARGV == 2;
my ( $monk, $pass, $secs ) = @ARGV;
print "Querying the monastery once every $secs seconds for monk $monk\
+'s reputation.\n";
$secs = 10 if $secs < 10;

while(1) {
  my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
  $ua->agent("PMReputation");
  
  my $res = $ua->post( 'http://perlmonks.org/?',  
                       {"node_id"     => "3559",

                     );
