in thread script to find out who have liked any FB page

See my problem is that the page for which I want to fetch the "likes" details is not my page. So, I don't have the user id and password of that page.

    You do not need the user-id or password, you need an access-token and you can only get that for public pages or your own pages.

    This is not a restriction of Perl, this is the way Facebook "protects" data. Generally, if on the page you cannot see who has "liked" the page, then there is no way to get this information.

There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
