Originally designed to be a simple perl script to insert advertising banners above all free virtually hosted customers web pages belonging to a web hosting provider.

Based on early CRIMP code, whap (web hosting administrator's paradise) reads the output from the web server into STDIN and uses modules to filter, monitor and modify text/HTML content on all vhosts or dynamic vhosts.

Modules are called either as a list from a file, from the command line args, from the web page itself or a combination of each and are forked to run in parallel.

The whap engine itself has been designed to be configurable for uses other than just web servers, new parsers can be written and modules can be programs written in any language.
