Re: •Re: Safari

The way I read it he just wants to download the list of books that are currently on his bookshelf, to be notified when the 30 day minimum for a book expires, so that it can be traded for another book. I don't see anywhere in the message that says he wants to download the books themselves.

That being said, since there isn't any code, all I can say is yes, it is possible, try WWW::Mechanize.

We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!

I'm saying "I can't tell". I also just edited the message to quote another section of the TOS which is more directly applicable as well. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]

You're exactly right. I had previously solved the problem rather inelegantly and just wanted to learn some new perl skills (specifically LWP). However, your suggestion to use Mechanize was right on target. If the Oreilly people don't like the idea, then I won't post the final code. Otherwise I'll post it here. All in all, Mechanize solved the problem very easily. I'll probably do some research to see why my LWP code failed. Thanks for the help	[reply]
