The countdown script was written for the counter
script on www.kluge.net. The script generates the time until
the next specified event (in the configuration file). The script requires
the Date::Manip library, see CPAN if you don't already have it installed.
The script and configuration file is really easy if you know Perl -- there
is no man page information for it yet (next version). If you would like
a copy of countdown, you can get it via one of the two following methods:
- HTTP - http://www.kluge.net/ftp/pub/felicity/countdown-1_6.tar.gz
- FTP - ftp://ftp.kluge.net/pub/felicity/countdown-1_6.tar.gz
