in reply to Combining Results from Multiple CGIs into one HTML page

There are several ways to achieve what you want to do. One way is to use the LWP mechanism to front-end the existing site. The module WWW::Mechanize will do everything you need for this, but you could alternatively hand-roll something with LWP::Simple or LWP::UserAgent.

In terms of what to do with the page when you have obtained it from the other site, parse out the <BODY> tag, and include the raw HTML as it is, though you might want to do some lower level parsing to pull out information you need for your site. For this purpose, I recommend HTML::PullParser.

Hope this helps,

    Why do you recommend HTML::PullParser? (inquiring minds want to know)
