Sup, I don't do a lot of posting but read here quite frequently. I've put together an auto article directory post script that might be useful as a backbone to a bigger article directory submission system.
It's written in Perl, and you need WWW::Mechanize installed on your computer/server in order to use it. I put Sample text in for you test out, and you must have an account already on the directory. For the example I used a1-articledirectory.com. Create an account there, then update the info as necessary.
Also, the category that this sample code uses post to the Food and Cooking Directory, which has a category ID of 166. Change it accordingly. It would probably be best to test this script on a directory you own, like I did (No I don't own A1-ArticleDirectory.com).
I've tested it on several article dashboard directories and they post perfectly. I made as many comments as possible, and the script is extremely short but powerful thanks to WWW::Mechanize.
In the future I will be writing more code to it, that will for example allow you to select the proper category by using keywords in the article. I also plan on having the script check for penname.
Also, You need to already have a penname for the account, so I strongly suggest using this on an account you already have, and a directory you own for testing.
I plan on listing all the possible article dashboard directories, and having each article submit to each directory. And the possibility of having the script submit more than 1 article at a time is a must.
Hope you enjoy.
Let me know if you have any questions and what you think.
