Hi Perl Monks,
I need to parse a web file such as 
http://www.abc.com/place/abc.cgi

I need to get data from this file using PERL.
Any help or pointers on this will be of great help.

The link also requires user name name and password.

Update:

I have a link on the web:
http://wwwin-dcb.abc.com/Travel/dcq.cgi?

It contains following details in a table format.
name   place ID Cost

I need to pick up name and ID using a PERL script.

Code Used:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
my $url = 'http://www.cgidir.com/tutorials/Advanced/tutorials/CGIOUTPU
+T.html';
my $page = get($url) or die $!;
my $p = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_content( $page );
my @links = $p->look_down(  
  _tag => 'tr'
);
my %acct;
my $count =0;
 for my $row (@links) {
  my @cells = $row->look_down( 
        _tag => 'tr'        
        );
  my @rows = map { $_->as_trimmed_text( ) } @cells ;
 $count = $count +1;
#  print @rows;
  $acct{title}   = $rows[0];
  $acct{1}   = $rows[1];
  $acct{2}    = $rows[2];
  $acct{3}    = $rows[3];
  $acct{4}    = $rows[4];
print "\n";
print $count;
print "\n";
   # print "$acct{title}\t";
   print "$acct{1}\t";
   print "$acct{2}\t";
   print "$acct{3}\t";
   print "$acct{4}\t";
}
$p = $p->delete; # don't need it anymore 

This works fine for an .html file as given above but not for the link 
+i want i.e
http://wwwin-dcb.abc.com/Travel/dcq.cgi?


Any help on this is most welcome.

Thanks in Advance
