Description: Checks perlmonks at a defined interval for new seeker posts and notifies when found. Since I'm on a Windows box primarily now, it plays a .wav. Season to taste.
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use Win32::Sound;

my $poll=600;
my $wav='c:\winnt\media\chimes.wav';
my $question;

&watch;

sub watch {
  my @content = split/\n/,get("http://www.perlmonks.org");
  my $hit;
  
  for (@content) {
    if ($hit and /href.*node.*\>(.*)\<\/a\>/i) {$hit=0;compare($1)};
    $hit=1 if /New Questions/;
  }
}

sub compare {
  my $curquestion=shift;

  if ($question ne $curquestion) {
    $question=$curquestion;
    &act; 
  }
  sleep $poll;
  &watch
}

sub act {
  print "New Question: $question\n";
  Win32::Sound::Play($wav);
}

    Here's an x-windows version, with slight adjustments.
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use LWP::Simple; my $poll = 60; my $question = {}; { &watch; sleep $poll; redo; } sub watch { my $content = get('http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=Seekers%20of +%20Perl%20Wisdom'); if ($content =~ /<font color=white>User Questions<\/font>.+?<a hre +f=\"\/index\.pl\?node_id=\S+\">(.*?)<\/a>/is) { compare($1); } } sub compare { my $curquestion = shift; if ($question ne $curquestion) { $question = $curquestion; &act; } } sub act { system "xmessage \"New PerlMonks Question: $question\""; }
      I updated the script to work with unapproved questions. I don't like to be popped, so it dumps on term only. I shamelessly copied the passwd stuff from jcwren's luke_repwalker.
      #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use LWP::Simple; use Getopt::Std; use URI::Escape; use constant APPROV => 'Approved'; use constant UNAPPROV => 'Unapproved'; my $poll = 60; my %question = ( APPROV, '', UNAPPROV,''); my $count = 0; $|=1; { my %args; getopts('u:p:', \%args); # Replace these dies with username/password my $user = $args{u} || 'jeroenes' || # You can put your name here die("You need to specify the user with -u"); my $pass = $args{p} || 'youdontwannaknowdoyou' || # You can put yo +ur password here die("You need to specify the password with -p"); main( $user, $pass ) while (1); } sub main { watch( @_); my @secs = times; $secs[0] += $secs[2]; $secs[1] += $secs[3]; printf "Done %5i fetch%s since last new question. CPU: %8.3f user; + %8.3f system\r", ++$count, $count>1?'es':'', @secs; sleep $poll; } sub watch { my $url = 'http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=Seekers%20of%20Perl% +20Wisdom'; if (@_) { my $user = uri_escape(shift); my $passwd = uri_escape(shift); $url .= "&op=login&user=$user&passwd=$passwd"; } my $content = get($url) or return; if ($content =~ m/<font color=white>User Questions<\/font>.+?<a hr +ef=\"\/index\.pl\?node_id=\S+\">(.*?)<\/a>/is) { compare( APPROV, $1); } if ($content =~ m/<font color=white>Unapproved Questions<\/font>.+ +?<a href=\"\/index\.pl\?node_id=\S+\">(.*?)<\/a>/is) { compare( UNAPPROV, $1); } } sub compare { my $state = shift; my $curquestion = shift; if ($question{$state} ne $curquestion) { $question{$state} = $curquestion; act($state); $count = 0; } } sub act { my $state = shift; print "\nNew $state PerlMonks Question: $question{$state}\n"; }
      prints out some CPU info while waiting....

      cheers,

    The wave should be the sound from Monty Python's, "The Holy Grail" with the monks chanting and hitting themselves in the forehead with wooden boards.

      And here it is.... :)

      Other "Holy Grail" sound can be downloaded here. Have fun.

    Should you initialize $question? I get :
    Use of uninitialized value in string ne at seeker.pl line 26.

    when I run it with '-w' in the shebang.

    #!/usr/bin/fnord

      doh.. updated.
