Revision of perl script which pulls in the entries from include/tor-
mirrors.csv and put the entries on
https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/mirrors

''"A) We should think about ways to automate the script. Maybe we
shouldn't spend too much energy on this one until we've thought about how
the mirror pages will fit into the future website redo."''
Script: https://gitweb.torproject.org/project/web/webwml.git/tree/update-
mirrors.pl
Topics after a first review of the existing script:
1. I found several small perl bugs (or better, "not a nice coding style",
not really bugs) in the existing script
1. The current way how the script is checking the mirror sites, isn't the
best (it is looking for existing .xpi, .dmg, .exe, .tar.gz files)
1. The script has to be run manually at the moment. Can this be done
automatically in the future (without creating security issues)? Have also
attention here on the existing mailing list (https://lists.torproject.org
/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-mirrors)
