The site http://www.isbnsearch.org/ is interesting because (manually) searching an ISBN number returns:

I have used WWW::Scraper::ISBN (via drivers LOC, ISBNnu, and GoogleBooks) and am aware of WebService::ISBNDB::API::Books, but these modules do not appear to support accessing http://www.isbnsearch.org. Regarding http://www.isbndb.com, a manual search fails to return information on pricing (the site just hangs with the message "Loading Prices").

Searching for "isbnsearch" on perl monks and on CPAN returned nothing.

I did find this project http://isbnsearch.sourceforge.net/ which may or not may not be related to the site http://www.isbnsearch.org but the project appears to be dead, or more exactly, many of the links on the project's page are broken.

Would appreciate any pointers for getting the information in the bulleted list above by accessing http://www.isbnsearch.org via perl.
