RE: [Xmltv-devel] Program to dump data into SQL database?

[Robert E. <rm...@ya...>]

btw... doing XMLTV developing on Win2k isn't that bad (at least if know
and use CYGWIN's Unix tools).  That's how I do tv_check.

The correct method is to use ::Lingua and something like tv_check's
get_text ( I think a standard routine is being put in XMLTV.pm ) to
work with all languages.  XMLTV is striving to be language neutral, you
should probably too.  Plus there is no guarantee that the frist entry
will be English.

print "\nPreviously shown: ",
             ($GUIDE[$i]{"previously-shown"} ? "YES\n" : "NO\n" ),

The pointer to the hash return false if it doesn't have a value, TRUE
otherwise.  No need to care what the contents are.
