Hi there,
I just discovered the monks! I havent been a Perl programmer for a long time... its kind of new to me.
What I am trying to do?
"Fetch webpage,convert to text and store it in a file"
use LWP::Simple;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
use HTML::FormatText;
print "Opening the URL";
$URL=get("http://www.yahoo.com/");
$Format=HTML::FormatText->new;
$TreeBuilder=HTML::TreeBuilder->new;
$TreeBuilder->parse($URL);
$Parsed=$Format->format($TreeBuilder);
open FILE_OUT , '>D:\Profiles\in2228c\Desktop\info.txt';
print FILE_OUT "$Parsed";
close FILE_OUT;
exit;
On running the above code it is not giving any error , but it is not fetching any data from the webpage also.
Can you please help me out on this ? What could be the problem here?
