Do you reckon this may be some attempt by ninemsn to prevent scraping
or are they in mid-development or something?

[snip out the script]

The mini-script ran fine for me and my version of perl is OK...

djwhyte at myth:~$ perl perlTest.pl
$VAR1 = {
          'stop' => '2006062111:50:00',

Sophie having a pretend friend.',
                        'en'

This is perl, v5.8.7 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)


I just ran 1.64 and I got new data and lots of replaced data all with
categories...w00t!!!  I still saw the issue with that uninitialised
values or whatever, but the script continued past that!

Once again, many, many thanks for your help with this.  You are a true legend.

Cheers,
