Hello:
(Sorry for my English)

I have been trying wwwstat 2.0 on a SUN with Solaris 2.5 and PERL 5.0:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think there are two bugs in subroutine "get_commandline"
Line 386 is:
	  elsif (/^da(y|aily|ate)$/) { $Do_Daily     = 0; }
and should be:
	  elsif (/^da(y|ily|te)$/) { $Do_Daily     = 0; }

The same in line 406:
	 elsif (/^da(y|aily|ate)$/) { $scope = 1; $Do_Daily     = 1; }
and should be:
	 elsif (/^da(y|ily|te)$/) { $scope = 1; $Do_Daily     = 1; }
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As I could see in wwwstat version 1.1 if you want to process data, say for 
the day September 4, you had to put:
-d "Sep  4"
(Note the two spaces between Sep and 4) 
It didn't work to put "Sep 4" or "Sep 04"

The Same thing happens in wwwstat 2.0. I think it's a bug (Though the man 
page for wwwstat now put two spaces between the two fields (e.g., "Feb  2 
1994") )
I think it's a bug because if the day field is a two numbers field you are 
owe to put only a single space, i.e. -d "Sep 10"

Has someone corrected this?
Is there any reason to leave it this way?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
And a suggestion for diplay options:

Display only the entrys (Sections, Subdomain, etcetera) that would be above
a percentage.
This could be interesting to not loose useful information when you know
little about the behavior of the clients.

I did it, recently, for wwwstat 1.1 but I can't do it now
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry for my own bugs.

I want to publicly give Thanks to Roy T.Fielding
