1. Print the time.
print scalar localtime(time) , "\n";
2. Run the program from your Perl script. Get the output of that program into a variable. my $output = qx(wget http://URL);
3. Munge the data to get what you want.
my ($time, $kb_s) = $output =~ /^(\d+:\d+:\d+)\s+\(([\d.]+)\s+/m;
print "TIME: $time\nKB/S: $kb_s\n\n";
4. Repeat step 1.
Step 0. RTFM. Thanks for this great link, cacharbe! (I stole it from 138902.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
