thanks, i got it and i'll test it out real quick. I think it's always useful to have a script that can handle multiple accounts, because then you can always build up the individual accounts, get them lots of friends and have them digg other stories and such. I see no reason why their votes can't be worth as much as another users.
Digg bot

sorry this took so long, i had some proxy problems since i just happened to have gotten rid of my proxy box only a month ago. I finally got to test it. It works as promised. It's easy to install and the only perl mods it requires are LWP and HTTP::Cookies which should be standard on just about any webserver.
People were asking about the digg protection against bots but it properly uses the tokens from the site and does a good job of actually posting the data. It doesn't however pull the page before hand and accept the digg cookies. Which I think is a problem and probably should have been done before it attempts to make a digg. I would also recommend you make sure your proxies don't identify themselves as proxies to the environmental variables which is still exceedingly difficult because as is it uses only a http proxy. I had to swap a few lines to make it use a standard proxy (if you want the code for that let me know). The usage is simple you just put the script up and make the accounts files readable and put in the id of the post you want to digg up. I'm not sure if he's including them when he sells to everyone but he gave with a 100 accounts. Some of them didn't work but thats okay.
All in all though the script is short but well written and does as promised. I would recommend that for every article you digg up with the accounts you find 10 other new articles that some digg powerusers have recently dugg up and digg them as well with the same accounts. That'll keep it much more inconspicuos.
Great script gtardini and thanks for letting me review it!
Sorry I took so long with the review, I really feel like an asshole about it. I can't give him a sticky so instead I'm going to let him bump this thread up to 5 times a day for a month with no complaints. It really is a valuable script for wickedfire to get access to.
