I agree 100%, which is why I said "In addition to the links you have already been given....". The point I was raising was that the OP has a history of posting here without searching (or in some cases even thinking) about the task in hand, and how they can solve it using the tools available to them (Perl, Modules, third party apps, and so on..).

I agree with you, the term 'webreaper' is not something that instantly springs to mind, and I find myself thinking of the terms you would search for also. Having said that, the OP did not bother to search for either the term they used 'web reaper' or any other, dare I say more common terms for this technology.

Thanks

Martin
