Hi List; Sorry for the OT post but I could not find a relevent perl list. I want to create a perl process that will go to a specified list of web pages and retrieve the data for each page so i can parse it. Ideally, the perl process would download the requested web pages in XML format. Anyone know of a method, CPAN Module, etc that will help pull this off? Thanks in advance for your help...

For the simple case you describe, you can just use LWP (libwww-perl). If it's more complicated, try WWW::Mechanize. Cheers, Dave
