Most of the people here will fall all over themselves in an attempt to help you, but not because you offer to pay them. What really incites cooperation on PerlMonks is a detailed problem description complete with sample input; expected output; and examples of code you have already tried - why those failed, or how you wish they could be made to perform better.

In your case:

1. What is the specific page you want to parse? Can you at least provide a mock-up with fake data?

2. When you say you want "article title", are you looking for what's between two HTML tags? Is there some other way of designating what constitutes a "blurb"?

3. What DB are you using? What format do you want the output to be in?

4. What have you tried so far? Which packages/modules are you looking at? If you can't show actual code, can you provide pseudo-code? (PerlMonks are "pathologically helpful," but they do like to see that you've made an effort to at least begin solving your problem by yourself.)

5. If you have a good start, but it doesn't do quite what you'd like, can you tell us how you'd like to see it improved?
