Sorry for the delayed reply, it's a time zones thing. Thanks for the
help/pointers. i found an article on LWP[1], will look through it and if i run into
something i'll get back to you.

It means that i can, if i have a locally saved copy of the said html
page "extract" information from it. However i have a problem "retrieving" it, that is,
saving a local copy.
Extraction part of the problem is very well covered in "Learning
Perl". For retrieving i would have to use LWP. Trying to pick up LWP from [1].
Rob> Over to you: how can I/we best help?
Thanks you already have, i just needed a roadmap. LWP is it i
think.
