=head1 NAME
restore_personal_nodelet.pl - LWP script
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Reverses the action of Jeffa's Personal Nodelet Extractor. Given a filename
that contains a list of node_ids, it will log in and add then all to your
personal nodelet.
The majority of this code was shamelessly stolen from Jeffa's Personal
Nodelet Extractor:
http://www.perlmonks.com/index.pl?node=Personal%20Nodelet%20Extractor
=head1 SYNOPSIS
for *nix:
./restore_personal_nodelet.pl C<-u> uname C<-p> passwd C<-n> filename
for win32:
perl restore_personal_nodelet.pl C<-u> uname C<-p> passwd C<-n> filename
Invokes the script for the specified username and password. The contents on the
input file would look something like this:
24270 Permutations and combinations
25730 Life in the land of OOP, and I'm confused.
17890 shift, Pop, Unshift and Push with Impunity!
32005 Apache::MP3
34786 Why I like functional programming
It doesn't need a default record seperator - it's collecting all numbers
so a \d+ is sufficient.

This script does the reverse of [jeffa]'s [Personal Nodelet Extractor]. It is also, mainly his code - so don't bother upvoting this node.
<BR><BR>
I have needed to re-input all my personal nodelets twice in the last week because I have updated my sig. See [id://111627|this message] for more info. This will save me a good 20 minutes next time I have to do it! I need to do some nodelet housekeeping when I have time.
<BR><BR>
<b>Update: Nov 15 2001</b> Added <code>modifypn=>'on'</code> to the POST. Also modify and uncomment the line with $ua->proxy if you need it. Thanks [ybiC]!
