Certainly. That particular script can be found on
http://www.therockgarden.ca/software/
It's the "authstats" script.

Yikes! I don't promise that my script will live up to any sort of
progamming expectations you might have! Very often, of course, simpler
is better. You might not find this is an improvement over what you've
done. It was written for a specific environment, though I'm fairly
certain that it can reasonably be useful for others as well. Please be
sure to read the included README file, as that contains some important
information regarding what likely needs to be configured for this to run
on your system.

Enjoy!
