Hello Monks. Perhaps this idea could sound odd, sorry.

I access the net via modem, and read PM a lot. Some (and the majority) of the nodes here aren't to be only read. They need to be studied, word by word. Tasted. I'm not playing or lying here, this is serious.

The problem is that my connection time don't allow me to stay and study in the monastery how I would want, to begin my Perl journey. This problem let me think if I could create a sort of parser of the nodes. It would work like: I look to a node and discover that it needs to be studied. I give the ID to the supost program, and it fetches the node and show me, or save it, to future use.

I know some of monks (including me) has already used the cool "Save Page..." or hit the "p" key in lynx to save some Pearls. But this isn't enought, to me.

Then I come to you, fellows, seeking clarity. Do you have any clue to read, study, save and organize nodes and the respectively follow-ups for personal use? Does PM have a XML or like to simplify this? Or do you only think "Oh, this is yours problem. Go and take a T1". :) ?
