Hi, First off, let me ensure everyone that this is not homework. I am a college student on co-op with Nextel Communications :). This is my 6th week of perl, and i need some help. Basically my boss comes to me and says, "we need real time graphs of certian data". So i get some java applets that will graph the given data. I intend to write a perl script to actually input the data into the parameters of the applet. This is where my question comes in. I need the data grabbed from a html page that another perl script produces, but i need it so everytime the user wants a graph, it reruns the other script and grabs all of the data into an array. The URL that i need the data grabbed from is http://172.16.4.25/cgi-bin/stats-cgi/hist.cgi?netid=system-SYSTEM&report_type=Daily+Totals&market=PHL. Any help would be greatly appreciated
