#158 latest yahoo site and latest parser not totally compatible

[Larry W. Virden]

In the past few weeks - about 2 weeks - I have begun
getting these errors:
Processing URL 1 of 7
Yahoo Parser Version 2.04
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at
yahoo.pm line 409.
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at
yahoo.pm line 410.
and then, later

Processing URL 2 of 7
Yahoo Parser Version 2.04
Unable to parse time: freeadmission

and later
Processing URL 3 of 7
Yahoo Parser Version 2.04
Unable to parse time: freeadmission
Unable to parse time: freeadmission
Unable to parse time: advancedticketsonsalenow
Unable to parse time: advancedticketsonsalenowAM

Note there are multiple occurances of these 'Unable to
parse' values.
I'm on a sun sparc solaris 8 machine, using perl 5.6.1
and showtimes 0.7 but with the various updates that
have appeared here on the site.

Here's an example of my getdata.cfg URL line:
URL
http://movies.yahoo.com/showtimes/showtimes.html?z=43068&date=todayplus0&nt=20

Is there any other info that would be useful?

Larry,

I believe I have fixed the problem - at least the part about
the "Unable to parse time" message.

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?
func=detail&atid=302989&aid=990436&group_id=2989

Let me know if the error "Use of uninitialized value in
substitution (s///)".

I also am receiving the "Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at
yahoo.pm line 419"

and also for line 420.

I have downloaded the patch to yahoo.pm to make it 2.05 and
here is what I see:

Processing URL 1 of 7
Yahoo Parser Version 2.05
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at
yahoo.pm line 419.
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at
yahoo.pm line 420.
Processing URL 2 of 7
Yahoo Parser Version 2.05

My first URL is
http://movies.yahoo.com/showtimes/showtimes.html?z=43068&date=todayplus0&nt=
20

Tried the new patch (2.06) and got this error:

"my" variable $movie_title masks earlier declaration in same scope at
yahoo.pm line 424.

Fixed: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?
func=detail&aid=994836&group_id=2989&atid=302989. My
Perl environment didn't report it as a problem.

Patch 2.07 works great (Mac OS X 10.3.4, perl 5.8.1)
If you want to you could update the version number in the yahoo.pm
output...it says:

Processing URL 1 of 3
Yahoo Parser Version 2.05

instead of 2.07

Thanks for all the work, zorvek. Nice Job.

I fixed the version number reported in the log. Didn't change
anything else so I'll just keep the version 2.07 for now. I
posted it to www.zorvek.com/showtimes.

This new yahoo.pm, version 2.07, solves my problem - so this
bug can be closed.

Actually, one more thing here is needed - to incorporate
these changes into the CVS (like the previous bug comment I
updated suggests)
