I have forced myself to take about an hour to complete a couple of things in the movida import plugin. As you might have read in a previous post, I have been rewriting the import plugin to provide a script based interface.
The plugin loads search engine descriptions from an xml file. As soon as the user wants to use one of those engines, movida will attempt to update the scripts from the Internet if a proper URL has been provided.
An updated script is downloaded if the server’s file modification time is more recent than the date of the local file (if there is any!). And this code is working pretty well now 
I have also managed to adapt and test a 3rd party perl script that parses an IMDb search results page. Look at the screenshot for the results (you will notice that Unicode characters are not a problem).
I am pretty busy these days with work and flat-hunting, so please stand by. Next step is to complete the movie import routine - but it shouldn’t take that much now.
Edit: The example scripts have been updated fixing a couple of bugs on Linux.
