Smart Freelancers

I would like to get a .pl or .cgi script that grabs articles from ezinearticles.com and then send the articles to a specified email address (one article sent in one email).

The subject of the email address should be the title of the grabbed article, and the body of the email should be the body of the grabbed article. The email body should be in HTML format and should include <br> tag for every hard break.

The grabbed articles should be the ones listed in a specified RSS feed in ezinearticles.com (i.e, a specific category) –> something like this: (http://ezinearticles.com/rss/Internet-and-Businesses-Online-E-Books.xml)

The script must keep a log of the title of the articles it has grabbed, so that it will not try to regrab an article it has grabbed previously. The log file should be maintained so that it will only keep a maximum of the last 200 article titles.

This is how the script should work:

Upon execution by cron, the script will access the specified RSS feed in ezinearticles.com. Then, it will check its log file and compare to make sure if new articles have been listed in the feed or not. If there are new articles, it will grab each new article and send each new article in a separate email to the specified email address.

So, if there are 6 new articles indicated by the RSS feed, the script will grab the 6 new articles from their corresponding URLs, then it will generate 6 different emails to the specified email address.

Please pay attention that the script should send out the article itself in the email, not the RSS feed.

As a reference, I attach a sample of an ezinearticles.com article. I marked with red color the portions that should become email subject and the portions that should become email body.
