[Edinburgh-pm] seeking collaboration for a scalable Perl web-scraping library

[Antonio Bonifati]

Heya guys,
I just discovered your group and will take part in the meeting. 24th this month, right?

I have this newly born project and seeking after co-developers:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/WWW-HtmlUnit-Spidey/
Get a quick taste here: http://code.google.com/p/spidey/wiki/QuickTutorial

Anyone interested in web harvesting and data extraction in Perl, all done the right way with proper JavaScript support? I cannot pay anything, it's all open-source but considering the high demand for scraping data from this unstructured Wild Wild Web it won't be difficult to find companies that will want to use this technology.

There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both true and false. 
Harold Pinter

Non vi sono distinzioni nette tra ciò che è reale e ciò che è irreale, nè tra quello che è vero e quello che è falso. Una cosa non è necessariamente vera o falsa, può essere sia vera che falsa allo stesso tempo
