Hi All! Firstly, just wanted to wish you all a very Happy Holidays :-D. Secondly, I had a question -- I'm in the process of making a dynamic class scheduler and need to get the class information (days held, credits, etc) from another website -
https://spire.umass.edu/saha/guest/guest_frameset.asp
(if you click on "Class Search", then "Basic" and then "Search" for whatever class, you get the required results).
Thing is that is there any way to get this information through Perl? I seriously don't want to sit for a few days searching for all criteria and dumping it manually into a database. Additionally, the above site is very secure and don't allow external access to thier links, etc. I tried to request them to give me thier class database and they told me that they couldn't. Anyways, just neeeded some input and I look forward to hearing from you all. Take care, Surya
