Not a bad idea ... but why not just write a Perl script that
downloads your home node, parses out your current experience
and sends you a /msg. How about one that keeps track of
new additions to Saints in our Book and /msg's them with
a congradulation. Remember, this is Perl Monks -
we can make our own bells and whistles for the site. ;)
Update:
Here is some code to get you going ... check out
Personal Nodelet Extractor for some example code to log you in and post
a message ... oh, and you might want to utilize an
HTML Parser instead of using that fragile regex.
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;
my $node = shift or die 'gimme a node #';
my $html = get("http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=$node");
my ($exp) = $html =~ m{<td>Experience:</td>\s+<td><b>(\d+)};
my %level = (
initiate => 0,
novice => 20,
acolyte => 50,
scribe => 100,
monk => 200,
friar => 500,
abbot => 1000,
bishop => 1600,
pontiff => 2300,
saint => 3000,
);
print "You made Monk!!!\n" if $exp >= $level{monk};
