@nate, yes that’s exactly it. You would save it somewhere, get to a command prompt, and execute the command: “perl /path/to/script search+term url”

how to you pass the second line into the script?

I am confused by your usage example as when i run a script i have to write

“perl perscript.pl”

seems like you just put down the directory and then pass a URL to the script?

In reply to astro. you can use active state perl. Once you install it, you should be able to run the script from the command line.

Hi,

I do not know how to use perl on win7 but I would like to find avg prices of certain items on CL. Could you please give me some direction on how I can use your cool script?

Thanks!
