Are you a regexp and Perl Guru ? OK, so I don't quite need a guru but I do need someone who knows their way around Perl, is aware of how CPAN works and smiles when they see a regexp! The WWW::Search module is available at CPAN - <[login to view URL]~mthurn/WWW-Search-2.471/lib/WWW/[login to view URL]> and is a base class for searches on the web. There are MANY sub classes that utilise this to search on Google, Yahoo, Lycos etc as well as some that are a tad unusual in their use. Damn clever stuff really :) There is also a perl module called WWW::Wikipedia at <[login to view URL]~esummers/WWW-Wikipedia-0.6/lib/WWW/[login to view URL]> that works in a similar manner to WWW::Search but isn't based upon it. Unfortunately WWW::Wikipedia is broken at the moment as the HTML has changed. Let's be honest here, we know scrapers are damn brittle at the best of times! I require the following to be undertaken please. Extend WWW::Search for use with the following search engines: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] I will accept bids per module extension required or as a whole. NB - GOOD ONGOING COMMUNICATION IS ESSENTIAL. I will tolerate a certain level of mistakes but I need to know about them and have constant communication on the project, timescales and cost. I am an amazingly nice guy and will help work through problems with you if I can but can not and will not tolerate being left in the dark. Please ensure you say a timescale for completing this project and if you have any questions then ask them here. Nonsense bids will be ignored and to make sure you are a human and not some bot auto posting then I would like you to recite the 2nd line of your favourite nursery rhyme in the bid response. I know it'll look silly but you and I are the only people who can see it (unless the RAC staff pop in to take a peek and lighten their hectic work schedule to see what the latest and best nursery rhyme people can think of is) but humour me. It puts a smile on my face and makes sure you've read this document to the end. No nursery rhyme no work ! Any questions please ask away and I lok forward to working with you.
