ObHack: hmmm. Using duct-tape to repair my bicycle? Pfft. Oh yeah: writing a perl script that creates a "map" of my WWW pages. Invoked automatically each time I log off, it traverses my .public_html directory tree, lists all files with the last modification date, size, and number of links contained in them. Files and directories can be made exempt from the list by putting a special directive (disguised as HTML comment) in the files, or .ignoredir files in the directories. The hack? Wrestling with Perl, and coping with symlinks ;-) -- Markus
