I was in the same boat as you and knew absolutely nothing about HTTP, HTML, etc - nothing. The "Perl Cookbook" (O'Reilly) chapter 20 "Web automation" got me going and I had a perl script in less than an hour.
Piece o' cake. If I can do it, anybody can do it.

As a Perl rookie I've got a serious problem trying to find out how to write a code which should do the following stuff: connect to specified URL using HTTP, send GET / PUT messages and process the output (web page) from the server. I went throug my Perl guidebook but found nothing according to this subject. Can anybody give me a hint (and/or suggest a good reference guide for Perl on the internet) ?
