Actually, I am looking for a good (read: high precision values) comprehensive table of units and conversion factors to add to this. Before I add new units however I need to add a filter that rejects converted values if they get too large (ie if I ask for 1500 miles I don't want to know how much that is in milimeters).
But that's on the wishlist - for now, I needed to scratch an itch, and most every unit conversion CGI page I found out there was at least mildly painful. The too large filter is actually a bit more complex than the nobrainer too small filter. I'll update the script and add more many units when I have a few spare brain cycles (time is plentiful, but my mind is always elsewhere :-) ).
Makeshifts last the longest.

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).
