Extracting info from websites
You are probably not familiar with Planetarion (www.planetarion.com), but I need to be able to extract information from this website ever hour or so and post it in my database.
http://www.planetarion.com/galaxy.fcg contains the info (the link may not work if you are not registered).
There is a size and score column and I need to be able to gather this data from selected planets and make it a database variable.
Any thoughts on how I would do that?

LWP...There are several threads that discuss this in the Perl/CGI Forum and Links 2.0 Customization Forum.
