grabing contents from other sites
I really want to know how to grab contents from other sites. I know using LWP you can get the contents. Is any other way to grab contents. Please help me on that..

Try searching the Perl/CGI forum for information re LWP modules.

This can be easily done. If you still don't find the information you are looking for, then post a message in that forum.

You can use the BigWhat Plugin to grab content from BigWhat.com.

I modified that plugin to grab content from not only BigWhat, but is also grabs from overture, sprinks and mamma, depending on the amount of results from each...

It works well, if you are comfortable with modifying plugins...
