As I joked earlier - you are working with byzantine code- PERL, which went into the bin of technological obsolescence along with audio cassette tapes. This is the 21st Century, Mac and there's no reason I can think of, to call a Perl script.
There's nothing you can do in Perl that can't be done better in PHP so I don't understand why your friend codes in PERL. Does he live in a cave or something? My reference to Hammurabi was trying to say just the above. Hammurabi's code? Never heard of it?
LOL I have no idea.
It should be a simple script as all I want to do is webscrape from a website...I actually tried to self-teach myself PHP but it was too hard...
Okay better question is does anyone know a PHP where you can web scraper data such as NBA rosters, NFL scores etc?
I guess if noone knows how to call a Perl script nor can direct me to a good webscrapping script...might not have this feature
