list_lastfm_neighbours.pl is a small but powerful Perl program. It collects information about your last.fm neighbours and lists them in textual form. Very interesting for a lot of people is the "reverse neighbour" feature. A "reverse neighbour" is a neighbour who sees you as neighbour too.
Usage:
perl list_lastfm_neighbours.pl -user="name" [-logging=0|1]
-h | -? = show help (this)
-user = name of last.fm user
-logging = 0=OFF / 1=ON; logfile="list_lastfm_neighbours.log"
Example:
perl list_lastfm_neighbours.pl -user="VickyBN1"
