I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Friend Tracker Installation Question
I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but I'm not familiar with perl at all, how do I install this software? Do I upload the files to a host, and then throw a few snippets into my profile? Is there a post that I missed that has step by step instructions?

Hi,

You'd really have to know Perl or UNIX to use this. It's a Perl program module that lets you write programs in the Perl programming language to access your myspace accounts.

You might want to try www.myspacebot.com or www.silent-products.com. They have programs you can download (Windows only, unfortunately) that work "out of the box".

Re: Friend Tracker Installation Question
Thanks Grant I looked on those sites, and didn't see what I am looking for. All I would really like to know is who has added, who has deleted me as a friend, and have some sort of order to it? If my friend list number goes up or down, most of the time I don't even know who's new or who left, do you have any suggestions?

Re: Friend Tracker Installation Question
Well, the FriendChanges module included with WWW::Myspace does what you're looking for. It's a simple install if you know Perl and UNIX. Instructions are in the "README" file. But, you really need to know enough UNIX and Perl to be able to install and use a Perl module, and I'm afraid there's no easy way for me to walk you through it (it'd be like telling you how to drive somewhere if you hadn't driven a car before). If you have any friends who like programming or system administration, I'd suggest they might be able to help.
