I am looking for a freelancer to fix/repair a Perl script that scrapes a website. The current issue is that the script is no longer working, with the last successful scrape being on May 22. The website's layout or structure has not changed since the script was last working. The desired output format for the scraped data is CSV. Ideal skills and experience for this job include: - Expertise in Perl programming - Experience in web scraping - Knowledge of CSV file format - Ability to troubleshoot and fix errors in code - Attention to detail to ensure all desired data is retrieved - Strong communication skills to provide updates on progress and ask any necessary questions. Notes on Existing Code: The code worked fine, now no results. The programmer who worked on it is not replying to any messages. He made no comments within the code. While I understand basic perl, I do not understand all of modules he is using. I do not know if the code on the webpage has changed or if the website is blocking my IP address. I was not using a VPN. The script worked good for a few weeks. When it stopped working I installed a VPN hoping that it would fix the problem. It did not. What do I want? 1. That as you read the code to make a short comment on what 'this loop' or some 'while or for' stmt is doing. 2. If the website is blocking the script that in the script will print to the command window a message saying something to that effect. 3. That within the code there is a flag that allows me to save the raw html code that is downloaded to a text file. 4. I have the option (within the code) to sign it using my user id and password, however I only want to use this if the script is being blocking my IP. 5. If a regex fails a message prints to the command window with the line number of the script which has the regex. The modules being used: use WWW::Mechanize; use JSON::XS; use Text::CSV_XS; use HTML::TreeBuilder::LibXML; use DateTime; use DateTime::Format::Strptime; use feature qw(say); use IO::Handle; use Getopt::Long; use HTML::FormatText; use HTML::TreeBuilder; Thank you for you interest.

Hi! I'm George, a web crawling expert, and I'm interested in this project. I have extensive experience in developing automated web scrapers and crawlers in Perl. My experience includes troubleshooting existing code, data retrieval, and CSV formatting. I have done similar projects in the past and have a great eye for details. 1. Do you have any additional information about the working of the code when it was previously running? 2. What platform (OS) was the script running on? 3. How were you using the VPN? Did you use a proxy or any security? 4. Is there a specific format needed for the output CSV? 5. What version of Perl is installed on the system? I'm confident I can fix the Perl script and validate it for successful scrapes. Let's chat more and get started.

Hello, Our first task would be to deterine if the site managers have blocked your IP. Or if your script needs to better emulate a browser if the site managers have excluded scripts from downloading data. Or if they limit how much data they will allow you to download? The modules in this script include an HTML parser. If the site's layout has be revised, then the parser may become corrupt. The correction may be a simple correction looking for other markers to isolate this data. But a total re-design of this parsing may be required. Site managers revise their layouts occasionally. If you're paranoid, they move things around to confound scrapers. But often they only want to alter their aestetics on the screen or raise their profile on search engines. In any case, the parser must be re-designed for their changes. Let's see this script, the site with this data and a clear indication of which data you want to download. Then, I can respond with a budget for such a project. I will include adding documentation to the script. I never document code itself because code is the best documentation for what statements do. But what the code does to parse this data will be useful to you or other programmers when interpreting how to keep the script current as the site layout evolves. A milestone payment for the full budget for this project must be deposited with this site before your offer can be accepted. Alan Idler Chief Software Architect Idleswell Software Creations
