artists.pl generates a list of artist's names from the /Arts/Art History/Artists section of the Google directory. This is avilable in a pseudo-RDF format file under the Open Directory Project. I couldn`t get rdflib to make sense of this, so the script uses XML::Parser to grep out the artists names by hand. You need an uncompressed copy of structure.rdf.u8.gz in your current directory.

google.pl takes the output of artists.pl, and googles for each artist in turn reporting those pages with an extra picture block at the top of the page.
