Hi Elliot,

I want to write a plugins that allow the admin know traffic of his site. I want to collect information from surfers 's machines by perl not javascripts.

Any ideas?

Hi,

$ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT} is a perl environment variable that will tell you the users browser and operating system.

However, you may be better off at just using a regular tool to analyze log files.

What do you think about this pluggin?

Please advise me.

A "plugin" for what? Do you mean something that is "plugged" into your client's browser? Or "plugging" into an existing Perl application.

If it is the latter, then all you have to do is "insert" the value into a column in either a table in a database or in a flat file.

Pluggin for Links SQL. OK?

Hi,

I'm not sure I see the value. Most sites will have log files generated automatically, and tools like Webtrends, or Analog can produce much more comprehensive statistics then you could hope to do realistcally.

What would it do that would be useful?

Hi Alex,

You can stat who refer to your site and have numeric statistic.

...which server logs already provide....with graphical interfaces too.....like Analog, webalizer etc....we are just trying to save you the effort rather than discourge you.....

Well, Mr. "I think that $ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT} is javascript code", you were NOT specific at all in your previous posts and that is why I asked for clarification, OK?
