Nice idea. :-)
When I ran the program I noticed that some users were missing from the list. This is due to the regex that extracts the usernames. This is a bit better:
# Don't strip the tags
#$html =~ s/<.*?>//gs ;
my (@users) = $html =~ /<td>by\s[^>]+>([^<]+)/gs ;
# Or this if there are Perlmonks with "<" in their username
my (@users) = $html =~ m[<td>by\s[^>]+>(.*?)</a>]gs ;

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
