in thread UrlLib and urllib2 python to perl

Very good question.

Indeed I use perl for lot of other things. So I want to use perl completely in my environment rather than have one script using perl n another for python.

Also after this am planning to use CGI so perl will help me. Thanks

    ok Web::Magic looks great. is there an equivalent function for hashlib? Couldnt find any

      Digest::MD5 should be a suitable replacement here: 
      % python -c'import hashlib;print hashlib.md5("blah").hexdigest()'

      I don't know what that is, or what that does, but if you go to MetaCPAN or CPAN and enter the name of the algorithm (or even "hash") you'll find something
