    I recommend using vek's SETI::WebStats instead. It makes writing a Seti@home stats script so much easier.

    From the synopsis:

    use SETI::WebStats;

my $emailAddr  = "foo\@bar.org";
my $seti       = SETI::WebStats->new($emailAddr);

my $ranking    = $seti->rank;
my $unitsProcd = $seti->numResults;

my $userInfo   = $seti->userInfo;
for (keys(%$userInfo)) {
   print $_, "->", $userInfo->{$_}, "\n";
}

      Thanks for taking the time to point it out, seems there are a ton of resources available to us.
      I am still figuring out how to install packages, what i can use for an IDE and the like. If you have any pointers, they would be appreciated.
      I have the O'reilly books and am getting through "Learning Perl", it is a fun read, not the dry tome I expected.
      Thanks again! Best regards, Bill
