in reply to Checking Google PageRank

Can you provide more specifics on the 'is not working for me anymore' part? What complaints do you get? and what do you make of these complaints?

From CPAN the other PageRank moduels are more or less wrappers to WWW::Google::PageRank or are simple algorithms that may perform on a limited size of data

    Method get returns an empty string.
    use strict; use Data::Dumper; use WWW::Google::PageRank; my $pr = WWW::Google::PageRank->new; print Dumper($pr); print scalar($pr->get('http://www.yahoo.com/')), "\n";
      Well, what appears is that an HTTP request gets executed and is actually successful but no content is returned that we can decode via HTTP::Response::decoded_content or HTTP::Response::content, it is very hard for me to find out but the behavior seems universal regardless of the website I am querying, so maybe Google has stopped entertaining automated access via code for security probably, just a guess ..
      use strict; use warnings; use HTTP::Response; use HTTP::Status; use Data::Dumper; use WWW::Google::PageRank; my $pr = WWW::Google::PageRank->new; my @context = $pr->get("http://www.perlmonks.org"); print $context[1]->status_line, "<<<<\n"; #The request is carried out! print $context[1]->content,"\n"; #No result is returned print $context[1]->decoded_content,"\n"; #No result either

        This is most likely. Google's PageRank endpoints are very trigger-happy with the banhammer, and will begin demanding CAPTCHAs (which I'm sure WWW::Google::PageRank will not like) very quickly.
