NAME
WebFetch::Slashdot - download and save Slashdot headlines
SYNOPSIS
In perl scripts:
use WebFetch::Slashdot;
From the command line:
perl -w -MWebFetch::Slashdot -e "&fetch_main" -- --dir directory
Alternative command line to filter out specific authors:
perl -w -MWebFetch::Slashdot -e "&fetch_main" -- --dir directory --filter author
DESCRIPTION
This module gets the current headlines from Slashdot.org.
An optional command-line argument of --filter may be used to filter out specific authors. This is not necessarily recommended but it was in use at SVLUG when this module was first developed.
After this runs, the file sdot.html will be created or replaced. If there already was an sdot.html file, it will be moved to Osdot.html.
