Nothing special to the way these sites work. You can check out
http://www.rileyjames.com and http://www.ryanparr.com (the programming on
the latter will leave you in awe :) I want to host my sites and have a
decent usage statistics location, but I just can't seem to get the logging
part down. I've got a long road ahead of me :)
For instance, the code below logs the following on entrance to
rileyjames.com (setup as PerlFixupHandler):
www.rileyjames.com / Wed Feb 13 16:17:15 2002
www.rileyjames.com /index.html Wed Feb 13 16:17:15 2002

The code follows:
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
return DECLINED unless($r->is_main());
# Same behavior when:
# return DECLINED unless($r->is_initial_req());
open TRACK, ">>/usr/local/www/usertracker.txt" or die "Couldn't open
log: $!";
print TRACK
join("\t",($r->hostname,$r->uri,scalar(localtime))),"\n";
close TRACK;
return DECLINED;
}
