There is nothing written about webreaper in perlmonks. There are no reviews for it in CPAN.

Well, with your post there's at least something written on perlmonks, even if it's just a complaint that there isn't anything pre-digested for you to grab.

The package was released on the 25 Sep 2004. Does this mean that nobody has used it except the guy that wrote it?

"the guy" that wrote it is our most honorable brian_d_foy, so I guess at least merlyn has used it, too.

Please come forward if you have. Does it do what it says on the tin?

I won't step forward. You first.

Why don't you just try the package and post a review of it here and maybe on CPAN as well? That would give us the pleasure to upvote a node of yours, for a change.

You are on perlmonks since 04.11.2003 18:06:47, and you still haven't learned the basics of PerlMonks posting, courtesy and linking? Did you ever read What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information?

--shmem
