Well, I'm not sure what to do here. It's quite possible - I would use modules LWP, HTTP::Request::Form and HTML::TreeBuilder - but if you've only just read LP then I doubt you would understand how to do it. I could write the code for you (which I'm happy to if you want) but that wouldn't teach you anything. If you can 'extract information from an HTML page' does that mean you can retrieve it with Perl?
Over to you: how can I/we best help?
