ATTACHMENT: cotipoller.pl
I wrote it because I didn't want to pathologically check COTI all the time. I just wanted to know when someone posted something.
It requires LWP::Simple and Data:: Dumper -- which are pretty common.
The default polling interval is 300 seconds, although you can specify your own interval on the command line.
It caches found threads and their last post times, so when you stop and re-start the script it takes off from where it left.
I should write this in Rakudo Perl.
