There are a lot of others out there and a lot of them have been build
on top of this little gem. If you are looking to scrape a major
website like hotmal, yahoo, imdb, gmail, etc, you will most likely
find modules dedicated to that website that do all the dirty work for you.
Be careful though the more specific the implementation the more likely
it is that a small layout change on the website can break your
scrapping module. But I assume that you figured that one out already.

Will perl handle login to authentication based website?
What I am trying to do is, launch perl script and interface with tomcat
URL which requires authentication and then grep certain information from
the page.
