Sorry for clogging up mailboxes - I just discovered that for some
reason one of my filters was putting everything with "PERL syntax" in
the subject line into the trash. Thanks to all who have replied.
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.
