Pug’s Place

I’ve written a cute little perl script which finds the lowest gas prices for any city in Florida. It uses the database at floridastategasprices.com for the prices, but returns the info in a nice little table without the hassle of advertisements, etc. You could use this in a cron job and have it email your phone every day or something, who knows?
Interestingly (for me), I’ve made it work with pretty much all of the command-line HTTP access programs, curl, wget, links, elinks and lynx. As long as you have one of those (and perl) you’ll be safe! This is also my first serious perl program, so that’s cool… I’ve never had much use for perl in the past, but it sure makes things fast!

Anyway, it’s at the normal place. Let me know what you think of it. Sean, maybe FWBLUG would be interested in it?
