"Spidering Hacks" by O'Reilly is targeted at everyone who wants to automate surfing the web and has a little bit of programming experience. Though each of the hacks in the book covers a particular topic, similar to books in the Cookbook series, there is also a lot of material that is generally applicable in each of them.

PHP isn't such a good GLUE. To spider something like Perl will act a lot better. If you really want something cool, a threaded Python script would be the way to go. Python has an AIM module to facilitate the aimbot functions of this as well. PHP is a great web development system, but isn't really designed as well to be used as a GLUE.
