Hi, I am a new perl user. I have a question of obtaining web page contents with perl. Hope you can help me.
Here is my question: how can I use perl to access a webpage, fill in some search parameters, pull out parts of the search results returned that I really need and save them in a file? For example, a web site has some information about a bunch of companies for various years. After one puts in the company name and the relevant years, one would be directed to another page that has the text contents needed. I have the file containing the company names and the years I want. Since the number of companies I have is large, it would be really nice to have perl pull out the contents for me. Could it do this? How? What if I need to access the web page through a proxy server? Once again, I am new to the perl community and I am sorry if the question is too simple. But I do need you help. Thanks a lot. Wendy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
