Following up on Numly tags help protect your digital content, I wrote a Perl script to fetch Numly ESN's.
I have this script create a ".numly" file in the same directory as the original page; my page display code notices if that file exists and displays it if it does.
So, for example, to create the Numly data for this page, I'd run "getesn.pl https://aplawrence.com/Programming/numly_tags.html" and that will create "/Programming/numly_tags.numly" in the appropriate place.
I didn't put a lot of error checking in here, and of course you'd need to modify it for your own particular needs.
