WWW-Orkut-Spider version 0.02

WWW::Orkut::Spider uses WWW:Mechanize to scrape orkut.com. Output is a simple xml format containing friends, communities and profiles for a given Orkut UID. Two example scripts are provided.

WARNING

I am not sure if Orkut.com allows this kind of software. So don't blame me if anything happens. The script is really slow if you want to grab a lot of users. If you try to grab too much (>60 users) it may not work at all. This is just another example for the powers of WWW::Mechanize.
