Hello Monks;

This is my first attempt in anything like this, So I am not sure on what I need in terms of libraries and where to start from?....

My questions are: How can I automate the following?

1- Goto a certain web site.
2- Goto a certain area in the web site - lets say the message board.
3- Download all the massages posted today.


Basically I need to know how to navigate inside the web and how can I get my scripts to click on a certain button or to fill in forms automatically. I am not sure if I need to know about CGI or is it achievable with simple OLE libraries. However, if I can get the above three steps achieved then I can expand on it and learn the rest.

Any Perls of wisdom on how these steps can be achieved are highly appreciated, and your replies will definitely enlighten the path for me.

Best Regards and many thanks in advance.
