If you are extracting information from pages with a similar format: HTML::TokeParser. Fetching the pages from a different server? Use LWP.

TokeParser easily strips out the text above:

#just to give you an idea about extracting text
#not complete or tested
while(my $token = $stream->get_token()){
    if(($token->[0] eq 'S') && ($token->[1] eq 'td')){
        my @tokens;
        my (@headers, @links);
        push(@tokens, $stream->get_token()) x 2;
        if(($tokens[0][0] eq 'S') && ($tokens[0][1] eq 'b')){
            push(@headers, $tokens[1][1]);
        }
        if(($tokens[0][0] eq 'S') && ($tokens[0][1] eq 'a')){
            push(@links, $tokens[0][2]{'href'});
        }
        $stream->unget_token(@tokens);
    }
}

When redisplaying that information, push it into a nice template using HTML::Template. Make it dynamic using CGI and the CGI module.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
