If you ever feel like taking a break from skinning and want to get MCUtils up and running, contact MrC (the creator of MCUtils).  His contact info is in the docs and he's always happy to help. It can be a bit intimidating at first but once it you have it configured one simple command can get you all the meta data your heart desires.

HPBEME:
It's not so much that I need to take a break from skinning, it is more about finding the time and energy to do it all. :(

I will probably take a look at MCUtils again sometime in the reasonably near future and try to figure it out on my own. I'm sure I will be able to, but it would probably take me a fair chunk of time and energy.  So perhaps I will reach out to MrC after all.  Thanks for the push Moe.

Doing the default configuration is really easy even though it might look hard. MrC has created a very good documentation how to get started. It really tells you everything there

In short basically the steps are:
- Install perl e.g. strawberrypearl (windows)
- run mcutils's install script and it will install all the perl libraries for you
- create new config file
--- Code: ---.\mccl.pl mcutils newconfig
--- End code ---
it tells you where the file was created and that you should add your credentials there to get MCWS responding
- create missing fields with --checkfields, --addfields commands

HPBEME:
That does sound very straightforward.  Perhaps I'll try it this upcoming Memorial Day long weekend.  Thanks lepa.
