Hi,
I am new at all these!
Let me introduce myself. I have been programming for years in other languajes. But I have now discovered that Perl really seduces me.
And I learned a lot with your script. What I am not sure to understand is this:
¿Are you able to modify the .dat file that updates at your local proxy?
If so, you could change the contents, and get news from everywhere in the WWW inside your BBC news ticker!
Not that it is so difficult to build a newsticker, but you could offer your idea to some sites to do the same in a very cheap way.
There is no big deal to read .RSS news and put them in your BBC ticker via your local proxy. But it happends that I know nothing of proxies and am not sure if the format is easy to understand in order to modify it's content.
Thank you for your article!
Alberto

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.
