I want to download some yahoo groups(files, photos, messages, memberlist) and i've found these scripts:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/grabyahoogroup/
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=62034
(same scripts posted in two places)
I've downloaded activeperl and the needed modules from cpan(nothing fancy they're very easy to find),
i've managed to install them, but when I run the script I get an error after it tells me that i've succesfully logged in:
"Use of uninitialized value $cells in pattern match (m//) at yahoogroups_files.pl line 244, line 2."
I'm guessing that yahoo changed the layout of the page or something, but I'm not able to update the script myself(I'm a newbie when it comes to perl and understanding the way yahoo generates the pages, i only know some basic C++). I want to mention that I'm not lazy, I'll try do fix it myself but I need your help. Hints, advices, anything.
PS: I've contacted the author, but he isn't willing to update the scripts.
Regards, Nick
