So when it stopped working I was prompted to start this query. As it happens I use this same batch file to get a listing of BBC radio 4 programs with "list.bat r4" on the command line but this too now miss behaves as well and gives me a listing of BBC Radio 4 Extra interspersed with BBC Radio 4 programs. The relevant line from the batch file is

Hi,

--channel="BBC Radio 4" is a regular expression match, so both "BBC
Radio 4" and "BBC Radio 4 Extra" contain the expression. You need to
match on just BBC Radio 4. Try "BBC Radio 4$", where the $ matches the
end of line, for an exact match use "^BBC Radio 4$"

perl get_iplayer --type radio --channel="BBC Radio 4"
returns 411 matches

perl get_iplayer --type radio --channel="BBC Radio 4$"
returns 252 matches

perl get_iplayer --tree --type radio --channel="^BBC Radio 4 "
returns 159 matches
