Hey Monks!

I'm looking for some advice on project design. I'm a newb perl programmer, so please keep the discussion elementary, though I am getting better.

Here's what I want to do. Our clients can login to our message management system and view messages. I have a client who needs a file formatted in a specific way, and he wants to download the file and save it rather than just view it. It is supposed to be saved as a .vcf file. The file is not in this format to begin with. The user would click a link on the current window, and start the program. The first thing the program would have to do is scrape the current window that is open. I'm not sure if it is html or not, but you can view the source code on it and scrape the information from there. The next thing the program will do is compile the information into a vcf file. Once that is complete, it will offer the user the option to save the .vcf file. I've never used perl with a web application before, so I'm not sure where I should get started?

I love it when a program comes together - jdhannibal
