Hi ,
I want help on the following problem :

How can I read data from a webpage and store it in file.I have the following script code in perl :

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    use LWP::Simple;

    $url = "http://www.myurl.com/";
    $file = "/path/to/savefile.txt";
    getstore($url, $file);

[download]

But What i want is if I have a web page like yahoo.com or rediff.com or any web page opened in web browser then I need to read the data of that opened page in browser .

Eg : 1.if i have yahoo.com page opened in browser then I need to read that page data and store it in file .
2.if i have rediff.com page opened in browser then I need to read that page data and store it in file .
3.If i have any web page opened then I need to read that page data and store it in file .
When i use , 

$url = "http://www.myurl.com/";

[download]
it is just like hard coding a particular link , which i don't want.

How can i achieve this .

Please let me know on the above problem .

Thankyou !
