Hi,
I did this plugin as SSI, as back a few weeks someone had requested it.
It would be VERY easy to do this with a tag using Perl, however, that will only work if are running your site in dynamic mode. This plugin was designed to work for both.
I suppose there is one other way this could be done... thats via a javascript. You could use a script source command to call a user cgi script that returned a java output, that printed the current users name, or guest.
Thats really quite a work-a-round, but an intersting way to avoid SSI issues such as performance, or if you don't have SSI available.
If anyone has the need or use for this javascript to work-a-round SSI, please let me know, and I will add the features to my current plugin.
Enjoy!
