Today was the first time I've used my new Perl script to generate this list. Up until now, I was manually grabbing the top ten downloads from the stats page and then creating the list. The problem was having programatic access to the show data to correlate with the show URL in the log files. My script reads and parses the RSS feed to grab the show data. So this is a nice example of easy, loosely coupled integration. No need to have access to the database.
I plan to update the program to grab the rating data from Loomia as well and generate rating data. I plan to eventually generate RSS feeds to these. I'll let you know.
