Hi.
So, here's a script to perfectly - well almost - mimic dwm's statusbar tag indicator.
Almost perfect because i haven't found a simple way to switch xmonad workspaces with an external program.
Actually we can do something dwm does not provide, namely have the workspaces color coded, i find this very useful as you dont have to read the tags anymore - just look at the color and you know where you are :).
The current solution is perl pased, simply because i'm more comfortable with perl than with haskell, though this would make a rather cool contrib modules if anyone cares to haskellize it..
I have no problems with scripts for status bars in any language. We're language agnostic here, for extensions anyway. Looks like the script should just go in XMonadContrib/scripts?

Btw, great work! :-) -- Don
