OK, I've looked at it, and it seems pretty cool.

I'm 100% certain that I can get this working on my server, but there are
several ways to go here:

1. Download the freebie version (which doesn't have all the features of the
pay-for software) and use it as is (functional, but without all the bells &
whistles)

2. Download the freebie version, but then hack it to do what we want it to
do (it's in Perl, and that means we have access to the source code)

3. Buy and install the commercial version for $150, or lease it for $52/year

4. Find some other software that is free, and modify it to do what we want.
(I've done this before)

Deciding what we want to do is largely dependent on what features you were
originally looking for.
