in reply to Class for getting film information from IMDB.

Looks cool. The only thing I don't like is the name. If you're going to snag a top level name, just make it plain old "IMDB" -- the "Film" is pretty redundant. (Unless you envision other IMDB modules that aren't associated with "Film").

My preference would be to find a better top level 'home' for it, but I'm not sure which one would be good...

    Thanks, guys. I'm glade to hear that somebody is interested of my work!

    I've named my module IMDB::Film because it's releated with IMDB and there is a module IMDB::Movie. So, no need to create new name space for that.

    But, any way, thanks for your suggestions!

      So why did you decide to reinvent IMDB::Movie? The only extra feature I see is plot, which would've made an excellent addition to IMDB::Movie.

        I've decided to reinvent IMDB::Movie because there are not information which I needed: duration, summary, country, language etc. So, I've tried to inherit that module and extend it but it wasn't possible to do for me.

        And I've tried to implement needed functionality and make that module easy extending to inherit and override its methods or add new one.

        This is my first relise and I hope that step by step I'll improve that module.
