  You could try what I did for a CGI: write a shell script (or a batch
file, or a Perl script, or whatever) the output of which is a POV-Ray
scene that you pipe into POV-Ray.  The script can print out whatever
you want, including date, time, directory listings, results from
other programs, whatever you like.
