Hi All.
I have a script that goes to google. Performs a search.
Google does not allow you to do that using WWW-Mechanize and LWP-UserAgent
(legally). You should use their web-search API and:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Google-Search/
I have a regular
expression that gets all the links.
You shouldn't parse HTML with regular expressions:

The first link in the array I return
is ment to open the next page. But it keeps failing with an error stating
it is illegal page. When I try and use lwp, it says you cannot use an
absolute link. But the link looks fine to myself.
Below is the code, any help on resolving this issue would be great. The
goal of the script is to input a movie name. find the details of the
movie
from imbd.com. Then save it as a text file. Eventually this Information
will be turned into a web page.
Please re-implement the code with the Google Search API, and peace will
come
upon the land.
