Subject: Urgently need install help
To: bug-WWW-Yahoo-Groups [...] rt.cpan.org
I tried installing the WWW::Yahoo:Groups module, successfully installing all the prerequisite modules (had one problem with HTML::Parser which I found the solution for (was a bug in the module, but with the workaround managed to install it without any test errors or other problems) before hand. There is a great deal of urgency to this request since Yahoo is planning to remove all attachments to emails in a few days from now and I'm trying to download a truckload of emails via a perl script prior to the deadline. Upon running "make test TEST_VERBOSE=1" I get the following output....

Out of interest, what was the HTML::Parser problem (if it can be easily summarised)? I like to find out about prereq problems. Show quoted text

On the 21st apparently. There was an extension. Still, it does take time to download a whole archive, particularly if there are many large attachments. Show quoted text

[...] Hmm. Looks like Yahoo itself is being a bit flaky. It's doing much the same on my machines. Perhaps assume the tests work, and try with a real program (something like the example in the examples directory). The tests are failing on my machines, but my cron job to update a local archive of one of my lists is happily still working. It's possible their systems have picked up on the test user and are being horrible to it. I'll see if the problem persists and try to remedy if it does. The problem with these web based modules is that sometimes the web just isn't cooperative. Hope that helps, cheers, -- Iain.

The problem appears to be related to the speed of fetches. If I make the default autosleep around 5 seconds it seems to be much happier. I'm guessing that Yahoo's put in some rate limiting software so that people don't inundate their site trying to download archives automatically. So, the solution is to either modify autosleep in lib/WWW/Yahoo/Groups/Mechanize.pm so that the last line has a 5 instead of a 0, like thus: sub autosleep { [...] return $w->{__PACKAGE__.'-sleep'}||5; } Or do do this: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use WWW::Yahoo::Groups; my $user = 'username'; my $pass = 'password'; my $y = WWW::Yahoo::Groups->new(); $y->autosleep(5); # XXX THIS LINE HERE WAS ADDED. $y->debug(1); # you may find this useful $y->login ($user => $pass); $y->list ('Wonderful_Resources'); my $email = $y->fetch_message(1116); print "Here is the email:\n"; print "$email\n"; See how this goes? (note that as a sideeffect this will mean the minimum time to download Wonderful_Resources is about 2 hours, 15 minutes). cheers, -- Iain.
