I've tried to send this twice before but have not gotten it back so
I'm assuming it never made it to the list for some reason - my
apologies if you've already seen it, and I promise I won't send it
again.
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.
