You want a literal example:
--enable-bannerprog=/usr/local/bin/mybanner

Where the banner prog contains something like:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "<img src=\"http://ad.doubleclick.net/some-bollocks-advert\";>";

(where of course the advert can be generated dynamically/randomly)

The default templates have only a single banner. If you want top and bottom
banners then put tags in the HTML where you want the banners to appear:

   [#B#]{TOP}
   ...
   [#B#]{BOTTOM}

The banner program will then be called twice for that page. Your program
will get $ARGV[0] for the page name and $ARGV[1] for "TOP" or "BOTTOM".
