$ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT}
Want more info? Then search Google.com for browser detection Perl.

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.

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.

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?

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?
