Library book reminder script – Perl geeking required
| geek, libraryW- and I borrow lots of books from the library. This script helps keep order in the house by reminding us when either of us have books that are due. I’ve removed our information from it and have made no efforts to make it user-friendly. Perl geeking required.
(It’s really a .pl. Can’t be bothered to mess around with forcing content type at 1:10 AM…)

2008-01-27T21:28:57ZFortunately our library system provides e-mail reminders! Maybe you can help them set that up so that other patrons can benefit. Perhaps they'll even let you add "Provided by sachachua.com" to the e-mail reminder tagline!

Do they do e-mail reminders for other people in your household, too? =)
