My CMS is in perl / cgi (not wordpress)
I have an rss feed that runs on a cron job and updates every four hours.
I need an automated "pinger" (example: like: [login to view URL])
everytime my rss feed updates it will be sent to this script and send out a ping to all of the pinging sites that I can populate in a list. (and add to or modify anytme)
I would also like to have a simple control panel (just an html page) where, in addition to this pinger automatically sending out my rss updates, has a couple form boxes for "title" and "url", where I can manually ping pages anytime.
This system would also have to allow me to pick the category I want to ping.
Everytime the auto pinging system pings the feed, it will save the results to an html page or text file, which I can view anytime.
Lastly, if this is possible, I would like to have a track back system, that will report and save to an html or text file, website that have picked up the ping and posted anything from my rss feed on their website.
any questions, please ask. Thanks for reading.
PS: Although my site is in perl, I suppose the script can be done in php, if its just grabbing my xml feed.
