in reply to Accessing isbnsearch dot org via perl

Are you trying to enter data in the page at http://www.isbnsearch.org/ and get a response, or are you trying to access URLs in the form http://www.isbnsearch.org/search?s=<isbn here> ? If you are using the former, then have you tried the latter?

Hope that helps...

    atcroft What prompts your question (isbnsearch.org and isbndb.com are different sites)? What I am looking for help on is to develop a perl routine that takes an isbn number such as 9780596000271 as input and extracts the information on the page Pricing info for The Camel Book as returned by isbnsearch dot org So the key task would be extraction of the information from the returned html page.
