I'm on dialup, and don't want to eat merlyns bandwidth, so, here's a little hack entitled

MTV Cache

#!C:/perl/bin/perl -w

# generates an mtv cache

use strict;

my @oops = qw(10 13 28 38 48 55); # columns with double code listings
my $mtv  = 'perl -T mtv.pl ';
my $dat  = 'index.dat';        # make sure they match
my %dex;

$|=1;

print "Binding Index\n";
`$mtv action=bindex`;

print "reading $dat\n";

open(FILE,"< $dat") or die "$!";
my @dat = <FILE>;
close(FILE) or die "$!";

print "generating list\n";

for(@dat)
{
    my($num,$desc)=split(/\t/);
    chomp $desc;
    $dex{$num}= $desc;
}
undef @dat;

print "deleting chokers\n";

for(@oops)
{
    delete $dex{$_};
}
undef @oops;

print "building mtv.cache.index.html\n";

open(OUTFH, '> mtv.cache.index.html') or die $!;
print OUTFH q~

for my $key (sort keys %dex)

    print "generating $key.mtvcol.html\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Just a dirty little script i hacked together in a few minutes,
borrowing heavily from mtv.  It should work regardless of platform.
And it'll take down the server load.
Currently, since i'm just capturing the output of mtv.pl,
the http header is not stripped.
It is kind of refreshing to be greeted by
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 

It is a "commandline" script, as if you couldn't tell.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
