pl suggest me ways to retrieve those pages..

Not sure what you mean by that Dear Monk. The technology used to generate a web page bears no relevance to the ability of a browser or browser-alike to retrieve it.

The simplest example I can think of to accomplish this comes right from the man page of LWP::UserAgent:

        require LWP::UserAgent;

        my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
        $ua->timeout(10);
        $ua->env_proxy;

        my $response = $ua->get(’http://some.url.com/’);

        if ($response->is_success) {
            print $response->content;  # or whatever
        }
        else {
            die $response->status_line;
        }

for example http://beta.nasdaq.com/ page got thru LWP::Useragent doesn ve all the data that u can see on screen.. think it uses lotta dynamic data.. i guess completely emulating a browser (like firefox) in executing the page may help.. can u pl propose some ways for that..

can u pl propose some ways for that..

Conceptually what you need to do is parse the HTML you have read in on a page, look for URIs pointing to other resources, fetch those, act on those, lather, scrub , rinse, repeat as necessary....

Otherwise you can probably do what you want to do with javascript if you can bypass the "same origin policy". Just write a page that loads your target page into another window and write the javascript you need to emulate button clicks, text entry, etc.

Finally, you might be able to find a Firefox plug-in which does this, or you can write your own plug-in.

yeah.. this is possible.. but how can we load a html page in firefox from perl?? plus usage of gui is not preferred.. i ll check out that javascript thing though.. thanks :)
