Simple Perl Script to Scrape Amazon

Although not the easiest of scripts in the world, I am sure there are plenty of you out there who can do this. I need a perl script written to scrape the top 20 results for all Amazon book categories. For example if you look at the following book category: Books > Subjects > Horror > British Then the first entry is (at time of press :) : Frankenstein: The 1818 Text Contexts, Nineteenth-Century Responses, Modern Criticism (Norton Critical Editions) I need the following information scraped for each entry: Title Retail Price Amazon Price Author Picture ISBN URL (of the Amazon Page) A review To do this you will have to build an index of subjects as above and associate them with an Amazon URL then scrape the data from there. Output should be one XML file for each subject with external references to each product image in (i.e. XML content for the data and external filename for the image) Please post if you need clarification on anything above.
