Hello,

If anyone has ever used IMDB::Film I thought they might have experienced this (Below is my code to retrieve info from iMDb).

The non-commented items return proper values. However if I try and retirved release_dates(), I get following error:

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/share/perl/5.26.1/IMDB/Film.pm line 1486. CRITICAL Cannot retrieve url http://www.imdb.com/title/tt/releaseinfo at 4news.pl line 151.

I do notice that in the error they have don't have the movie id, just the tt. Which if I manually correct, I get the proper URL, and then loop through it for each different state. Or I could dig through $imdbOBJ, but that seems kind of kludgy. Or create the proper URL, and do it myself. I even though should I touch the modules code, but have never done that.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

$currec{mediaid} = iMDbs id number, which in this case is 'tt6723592'

    $imdbOBJ = new IMDB::Film(crit =>  $currec{mediaid}, user_agent   
+   => 'Opera/8.x', timeout => 30, cache => 0);
    
    say $imdbOBJ->title();  
    say  $imdbOBJ->status_descr();
#    say  $imdbOBJ->release_dates();
    say  $imdbOBJ->year();
#    say  $imdbOBJ->full_companies();
    say  $imdbOBJ->company();
    say  $imdbOBJ->recommendation_movies();
