Re: Can use perl for download photos from facebook?

I don't use FB at all, but it's clear they spend a lot of their
resources obfuscating their website.  They provide a tool for
backing up your FB wall, or whatever it is called, but the tool
is not effective and reliable.  I'm sure there are people overcoming
this obfuscation, and then FB changes their site to obfuscate it again.

Here is one example of people overcoming the FB obfuscation, and then
FB changes their site to obfuscate it again:

I don't use FB because I don't like their rules.
