You can free download the script here. With this script, if you want to find out info of a certain kind item, all you need to do is open the program and change keywords. For example, if you want to know what is going on about Xilinx, you need to change keywords as below.
# Change the key words my $keyWord1="Dell new"; my $keyWord2="intel"; my $keyWord3="notebook";
After you changed key words, you can run the script at DOS prompt. Once it is done, you should find a txt file named after your key words and a lot of html files in the directory where you run the script. The txt file should have the summary info you are looking for. A small problem with program is that if a listing does not use US currency, some numbers, like Starting Bid, in the table are zeros.
If you have any questions, please post them at Misc. of the forum. we will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
If you do not have PERL in your computer, you need to install it, like activeperl from www.activestate.com. And you also need to install WWW::Search::Ebay from www.cpan.org.
