STATEMENT:
Metromix has a good site that compiles Chicago
events and food establishment deals. My problem
was I usually needed to go through 40+ pages to
find what I want. I needed a better way to find
the events/deals I wanted and thus I wrote this
script.
NEW AND SPECIAL IN THIS RELEASE:
This is the 1st release
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
An internet connected machine, latest version of
perl and the necessary modules to run the script.
Also, a plain text editor to modify the
keyword.txt file.
