I'm looking for a way to discover all the books ever published about Perl. Where should I look?
* Is there a Perl interface for the WorldCat APIs? If not, I'll make one. Are people merely shoving their results into something like XML::Feed? I have a big dump of data * WorldCat has many of the books, but there are holes. I realize that this is a union catalog instead of a historical database. * I know about the Amazon interfaces too, but I think that's the same problem as WorldCat (and there are already Perl interfaces for that). * I have the data dump from Google Books already. * I figure that the Library of Congress knows about a lot of them, but I don't have $20,000 to buy their 2012 database (or subsequent ones). Is there some other way to get re -- brian d foy <brian.d....@gmail.com>
