I think WWW::Mechanize works great. Very easy to understand and use.

Hi All. I want to download historical stock financial data (EPS, growth, sales revenue etc.) from the web. My intention is to populate a MYSQL database with these values and then perform a series of calculations against the database for my personal investing. A sample of the data I want to retrieve is here: http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/results/hilite.asp?Symbol=IBM What is the best way to do this? I'm more interested in the approach vs. specific code. I thought about using Finance::Quote but that doesn't appear to be written to retrieve the historical data I am after. LWP also comes to mind as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. --Paul
