Subject: Parsing URL
How do I go about parsing a url from the browser location. For example
if I have the following url:
https://mercedissa.tmo.org/cgi-bin/req/sreq_start.pl?sid=EBSCO:buh%20(Vi
a%20SFX)&genre=article&issn=00999660&volume=242&issue=26&date=2003&atitl
e=S.O.S.%20Africa.&title=Wall%20Street%20Journal%20-%20Eastern%20Edition
&spage=A12&aulast=Waal&aufirst=Alex
As you can see there are elements like volume, genre, date, issue,
title, author.....
How do I parse this to get only the elements mentioned above? Is there a
perl module that does this?
Thanks.
