What's Odious?

Odious is a browser written in perl specifically to enable fans of Odeon cinemas without IE5+ on Windows to view the schedule of their local cinema.

If you can't be arsed with this, I'm also currently displaying Odeon cinema listings for the entire country on another page

Odious requires a full implementation of perl on the machine it runs on and it is highly recommended to experienced users of perl to jump in and hack around, because this is my first perl application ;)
