Hi All, I should tell you I'm a real newbie. Only just half way through my first book. But I figured I would try a project to get me going - doing rather than just reading. I am using an API to get data returned. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use WebService::Tesco::API;

# Code to log in removed

my $code = $tesco->product_search({ searchtext => $pn, extendedinfo =>
+ 'N' });

I am looking to create a variable that holds the ProductId "254881114" As I need this number to make my next URL. Any help would be gratefully received. Best wishes. James.
