Hum very interesting what you are telling us Matt, but I'm afraid that it's
non-sense :-))

The Parsereport.pl script can be found in the following directory on a Raq3,
I'm almost sure that it will be in same spot on a RaQ4:

/usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/webUsage/Parsereport.pl


This scripts is used by the Cobalt during it's logrotation, I believe it
generates the usage pages for the GUI, but it belongs to the cobalt GUI, so
don't bust unless you know what you are doing.


For all of you, take a glance at the /usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt,
that where Cobalt hides it's perl script, that rule the GUI.
Another directory to take a look at is
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.003/Cobalt ( on a RaQ3 ), that's where the Cobalt
perl modules are, containing all the handling of the cgi/perl scripts
