Got home from work about 2 hours ago and started coding some more for the IMDB perl script. I got a contribution today from Bret McDanel and he added some awesome features. It now has a pretty XML output as well as several bug fixes. You should get the latest copy if you don’t have it. [link]

Unfortunatly for me, I forgot to release my latest version and his patch didn’t apply as nicely as I would have liked. That’s my fault for having a modified version though. I’ll have to take better care of that in the future. That’s all for now, i’ll try to post more tomorrow..or later tonight. I’m going to nap. Goodnight internets.

So i’m finally done with exams and now i get to write about this update. I got an email a couple weeks ago from Michele about an update to my imdb perl script. He added an “also known as” functionality to it. Here’s his take on it:

[...]we have the really bad habit to translate movies
and titles. For example, “the godfather”, is translated in “il
padrino”. This is fairly common in Europe.

Here’s a screenshot of the new output,

And a link to the updated perl script. Thanks alot Michele! I’ll post more later if he, or myself, update the script.
