Thank you for your suggestions. Your idea for $message works fine, but I thought I'd follow-up on your suggestions for the CPAN modules -- actually I'm trying to use the module TableExtract. Here is the tentative code I have built so far, but I do not know how to proceed. Can you guide me to the way I can complete the code so I can refer to the table data (for the rows Company, Symbol, EPS Estimate, EPS Actual)? I hope to print all rows in the table for all 4 columns.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use HTML::TableExtract;
my ($te, $url);
$url="http://www.earnings.com/fin/earnListing.jsp?tckr=&exch=&eff=&date=2003-05-04";
$te = new HTML::TableExtract( headers =>
qw(Company Symbol EPS Estimate EPS Actual) );
$te->parse($url);

With many thanks, Joe
