Misc Perl Rants and Praises

First rant goes to the SWF * module package deal. This module was created again in 2001 (or was it 2003). Since then, there haven’t been any SWF * updates or documentation written by the creator or by person's who found out the way to use it.

There are some perl modules which you could determine simply by wanting on the synopsis and pattern code, however whenever you're working with a completely international language (Flash) its onerous to make good of any of the code.

The module is so outdated or not possible to work with that I really purchased myself to posting for assistance on RentACoder, Kasamba and GetACoder and nil folks even made an try and discovering a working answer.

So till this SWF package deal will get fastened, and with MING out of the image, Perl has no option to create Flash motion pictures. If you're an especially proficient but bored Perl script and have some free time, use these authentic SWF * modules as a roughdraft and replace all the pieces.

The reward for the day is for WWW :: Mechanize. It is among the best and, relying what you utilize Perl for, probably the most used Perl modules. It's a disgrace it doesn’t come prepackaged with ActiveState.

WWW :: Mechanize lets you create net bots (web site scrapers) and automatic kind fillers in a snatch. It's so highly effective, it may possibly work together with any kind component whether or not it’s a textfield, radio button, hidden area or button.

It makes use of the LWP :: core capabilities making it much more customizable. There will not be many paperwork on the way to use LWP with WWW :: Mechanize, however after taking part in round just a little bit, you'll determine it out.

———————————–

I’m at present utilizing WWW :: Mechanize to create a web-based search engine submission script. So far, all the pieces is working as easy as a script might, however gathering the engine knowledge is extraordinarily time consuming. Not to say, it's onerous to get legit search engines like google that don’t use picture verification codes.

This is present engine database NAME SUBMIT_URL FORM_NAME FORM_PARAMS CHECKBOXES SUCCESS_TXT Aesop :: [http://www.aesop.com/cgi-bin/aesopadd.cgi::2::EMAIL=] $ e-mail, URL = $ url, NAME = $ title, VERIFIER = 072-58 :: phrases = sure :: Thank you for utilizing Amidalla :: [http://www.amidalla.com/add.htm:: ::] addurl = $ url :::: thanks for Axxasearch :: [http://www.axxasearch.com/submit-site.htm:]: submit_url_form :: required-www = $ url, required-email = $ title :::: Thank you for EVisum :: [http://www.evisum.com/addsite.htm:: ::] URL = $ url, e-mail = $ e-mail :::: Your web site can be reviewed CompleteWeb :: [http://www.entireweb.com/free_submission/::addurl ::] URL = $ url, Email = $ e-mail :::: We have despatched you ActualSeek :: [http://www.exactseek.com/add.html::2 ::] URL = $ url, EMAIL = $ e-mail, NAME = $ title, VERIFIER = 072-58, motion = submit :: confirm = sure :: Thank you for utilizing SearchWho :: [http://www.searchwho.com/cgi-bin/addsite.pl::2 ::] v_title = $ title, v_url = $ url, v_email = $ e-mail, v_directory = $ listing, v_comments = $ feedback, db = normal :::: Thanks for submitting

If anybody has time and needs to contribute to this mission, the engine knowledge is damaged into the next blocks.

1) Engine title, adopted by ::

2) Engine submission web page URL, adopted by ::

3) The kind title or quantity. kind title = "bob" could also be discovered within the HTML code. If it's not, you want to rely what number of & ltform> tags there are earlier than the shape for the subission. The database wants the title if it's discovered, or the shape quantity. Followed by

4) All the shape fields the shape has (required or not), together with hidden paramaters. This is case-sensitive. It requires a field_name = worth. If it's the URL, append the variable $ url. Name, url, feedback, listing, e-mail have $ title, $ url, $ feedback, $ listing and $ e-mail respectively. If it's a hidden area, take the worth that it tells you within the HTML code and assign it with the worth, not a variable. They all have to be comma separated WITHOUT SPACES. Do not embrace checkboxes on this part. Followed by

5) This is an identical to # Four however that is just for checkboxes. Same syntax as above. Se the checkbox_name = the_value. Followed by

6) Lastly, after a profitable submission there needs to be some textual content saying it succeeded. It solely wants just a few phrases that won’t seem if the submission fails.

This database will stay a textfile to make it infinite simpler to replace. Please ship contributions to help@spyderscripts.com
