Price for amazon.com books
Does anybody have a script that automatically gets the current price of a number of books (given by their ASIN number) from amazon.com?

Thanks for your help.

I can't find anything on CPAN. There is one there, however, to get information about items in your 'wishlist'.

It shouldn't be that hard to write one though using something like LWP::Simple.

Thanks for the hint. I'll be able to use some information from this module for writing my own script.

I want to use the script for my installation of Links, to periodically get the price of the books I am listing.
