You shame me. I'll have to pour over it before I make a more detailed comment, but here's my version of a similar thing. I didn't make it into a package, and it still has a few problems.
I just have it run in a window in the background so that I can lookup anything I miss when I don't reload fast enough. Comments appreciated!
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
my($newmessages, $oldmessages);
while(1){
get("http://www.perlmonks.org/")=~/<!-- nodelets start here --
+>(.*)/s;
$_=$1;
my(@nodelet)=split(/<!--Nodelet Break -->/);
foreach (@nodelet){
if (/Chatterbox/){
s/\n//g;
s/\r//g;
while(m%(<b><</b>|<i>)<a href=[^>]*>([^<]*)
+</a>(<b>></b>)?(.*?)(</i>)?<br>%ig){
if(!defined($oldmessages->{"$2:$4"})){
$newmessages->{"$2:$4"}=1;
print "$2: $4\n";
}
}
last;
}
}
undef $oldmessages;
$oldmessages=$newmessages;
undef $newmessages;
sleep(15);
}

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.
