Hi all (?),
        I downloaded the wwwstat packages and I tried it. I found it very
powerfull, with all kind of stats of web accesses which i wanted.
        
        The only thing which i found a bit poor was the output: I don't like
the <PRE>formatted output in HTML pages. So I decided to add to the wwwstat
the possibility to make html output using the more powerful <TABLE> tag,
without forgettin' who prefer the "old" style output.
        So I'm adding two new switches -table and -notable which make
possible the choice between the two styles. I choosed that -table could be a
good default.

        I have to tell you that I actually am a programmer experienced with
C/C++ and some other languages, but this is my first experience in Perl. So
I encountred a problem: the Perl function printf works like C analogous? I
mean: in C i can write something like

        printf("<TD> %s <TD>\n", string );

and it works; may I write 

        printf "<TD> %s <TD>\n", $string;

in Perl? I tried but it doesn't seem to work... If someone would help me in
solving this little problem I'll be able to post here a my own modified
version of wwwstat in a few day...

        Thank you.
