It requires a local phpBB setup that will be overwritten and it can only access what is available to the web browser (no private messages or user settings). Scraping is possible as a guest or as a loged in member.If used with an administrator name and password it will copy all the member e-mails (not just the public ones) allowing them to request a new random password from the new installation site and continue using the forum. The current implementation lacks search support, but this problem will disappear if you convert the forum to SMF. The "mforum" script is supported.Requirements:· WWW::Mechanize· Compress::Zlib· HTML::TokeParser::Simple· DBI· DBD::mysql Requirements: · WWW::Mechanize · Compress::Zlib · HTML::TokeParser::Simple · DBI · DBD::mysql
