Ebot is an interactive tool that generates a Perl script that implements an E-utility pipeline. Ebot will guide you step by step in building the pipeline and then will download the Perl script to your computer.

To run the script, perl must be installed on your machine along with the following modules available from www.cpan.org:

  • LWP::Simple
  • LWP::UserAgent

These are very common modules and are part of most standard perl installations.
