in reply to IMDB Fetcher

Well hell's bells!

Kinda makes mine look a little silly, weighing in at 200 lines. Then again, I plan on submitting mine as a CPAN module (i use HTML::TokeParser to exract the info). The trick is getting the movie with as little page hits as necessary - if the user knows the ID number then you should be able to retrieve the goods with one page hit.

Thanks for posting ... i still have a lot of work to do on mine.

    I'm glad to hear about this... I've been working on Perl-ish version of a roundabout movie trivia game I learned in high school. Great for road trips or late nights at Denny's :p. I was hand-rolling all the interfact to the IMDb though, this will hopefully save me a lot of work.
