This is exactly what LWP is for...
it comes standard with activestate's distro of perl (www.activestate.com)
but not with *nix iirc.
you can grab the module from cpan and just read up on the docs of
LWP::Simple
it does all you need =)

Hello.
Im looking for a little direction:
I want to write a very simple script that goes out to a particular set of
web sites (weather maps) and prints/saves their contents. Ive been reading
about sockets and networking but I havent been able to glean the information
that I think I need. Does anyone have a hint? Im interested in doing this
either from a UNIX box or NT.
Thanks very much.
