was looking for freelance work and came across a request for a script that would scrape yellow pages website. Hopefully the poster will google more before they spend $300 bucks for this...

#!/usr/bin/perl
# program: yp.pl
# purpose: search for phone number on www.yellowpages.com
# date:    2015.01.28
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;
my $usage = "\n\tusage: perl $0 [PHO-NEN-UMBR]\n";
my $baseUri = 'http://www.yellowpages.com/search?search_terms=+';
my $phoneNumber = $ARGV[0];
die $usage unless($phoneNumber =~ m/^\d{3}-?\d{3}-?\d{4}$/);
my $content = get("$baseUri$phoneNumber");
$content =~ s/\s+/ /g;
$content =~ s/\ / /g;
$content =~ s/>\s*</\n/g;
my $hits = 0;
foreach my $e(split /\n/, $content){
    chomp $e;
    if($e =~ m/^.*itemprop=['|"](\S+)['|"].*>(.*),?<\/\S+.*$/i){
        my $itemProp = $1;
        my $itemValue = $2;
        $itemValue =~ s/,\s*$//;
        print "$itemProp: $itemValue\n";
        $hits++;
    }
}
print "no results found for number '$phoneNumber'\n" if(!$hits);
exit;
