in thread parsing CSV

Can you post an example of each of these pages (with fake customer data, obviously) and what the output you require is? With access to the right data and an example of what you want the output to be it'll be easier for people to help.

    webpage 1 is a blank page with two columns: 
    storage, cid
546  ,   c100
6234 ,   c200
3265 ,   c300
etc  ,   etc

    web page 2 is also a blank page with data but no columns just data: 
    c100, jo shmo c200, jack black c300, patrick stewart
c400, may shoe c500, dick tracy c600, morgan freeman
c700, michael jordan c800, vladimir putin c900,
corey feldman etc, etc etc, etc

    I have to take the cid and name on page 2 and match it to cid and storage on page 1. Some magic happens and it concatenates into a csv or $output variable or anything really that can get put onto the body of an email that displays: 
    CID, Name, storage size
c100, jo shmo, 546
c200, jack black, 6234 
etc, etc, etc

        If you are using Perl you seldom need to resort to using the command line to get work done. Don't use curl. Don't use mail. Instead read the suggestion Corion gave and the documentation for MIME::Lite. When you figure it out you'll be surprised how easy it is.
