NAME Image::Grab - Perl module to easily grab images from the 'net. Behavior Changes: Since 1.1, I've made Image::Grab look for background images. This could cause you problems if the background images match your regexps or if you use indexes. Since 0.9.5, I've added the search_url method in lieu of overloading regexp. This means that you'll have to check your scripts. Since 0.9.3, I've added the do_posix method and changed the behavior so that POSIX date substitution is only done if do_posix is set. This is because strftime appears to garble the 128th character and on in long string substitutions. I've seen this in Digital Unix, Linux and Solaris. Installation: You must have the following modules already installed: Digest::MD5 2.07 HTML::Parser 2.20 HTML::Tree 0.51 MIME::Base64 2.11 URI 1.02 libnet 1.0606 libwww-perl 5.43 (Earlier versions of some packages may work, but I haven't tested them.) $ perl Makefile.PL $ make test $ make install And that should do it. Let me know of any problems () Testing: Unless you have cookies for www.chron.com, the cookies.t test will be skipped. The tests rely on cookies being set in your ~/.netscape/cookies file. You could set these yourself by visiting the Huston Chronicle website (http://www.chron/content/comics) and getting an account. If you don't do this, these tests won't even run. If you are testing this from behind a firewall, be sure that your proxy environment variables are set correctly (e.g. http_proxy=http://wwwproxy:80/). Response: If you care to, let me know how you are using this module. It's nice to know what different people are using this for.
