Hi, I had asked a question about a week ago regarding XML web services for grocery prices. I looked at all the answers that were suggested, but I didn't think the suggested technologies were particularly appropriate for my case. david.lyon@p... wrote: > I have some perl scripts that I could publish that will automatically > download about 8 million items from a range of websites across Europe. However David Lyon told me about this shopinfo database. Although it is mainly for Europe, I guess I can still use that just as a proof-of-concept. So, can you send me the Perl scripts that you mention in your post David?
