LTR: Library Code Use Cases
I'm writing a Library Technology Report for ALA TechSource on lightweight, useful programs librarians & archivists have written to get their jobs done better.  You need not be a library developer to answer these questions - in fact, I want to hear from people with all sorts of library roles!  You need not be an expert coder or have a perfect code sample available, either.  If you wrote some code that got something done, no matter how hackish or how elegant, I want to hear from you.

Your code!
For the following questions, please pick a short program (less than a hundred-ish lines) that you wrote to do some library/archives task.  If you have more than one you’d like to talk about, feel free to have multiple answers per question (just make it clear which answer goes with which script).
