My apologies if you're getting this a second time, but I sent this
several hours ago and it hasn't shown up in my list yet, so I'm
assuming it got lost somewhere.
I'm completely new to PERL, so I'm sure this will seem fairly obvious
to some. I'm trying to write a script to get info from the Internet
Movie Database (IMDB) using PERL. I found a website
(
http://www.infocopter.com/perl_corner/retos-imdb.htm) that describes
the syntax for PERL searches of IMDB. I used the PERL example script
there to create this Applescript:
set shellscript to "
use IMDB;
$imdb = IMDB->new();
%res_1 = $imdb->query('title' => 'star trek');
print \"-> $_ = $res_1{$_}\" foreach sort keys %res_1;
%res_2 = $imdb->query('title' => 'pulp fiction');
print \"-> $_ = $res_2{$_}\" foreach sort keys %res_2;
"
do shell script "perl -e'" & shellscript & "'"
However, I just get execution errors (with or without 'quoted form of
shellscript'). I can't find any information anywhere on what the
proper syntax should be. Any help would be appreciated - thanks.
