update



Well - if i am able to identify the XPATH expressions for this site http://www.educa.ch/dyn/79376.asp?id=1187 then i am able to do the job!

Note: if i can do it for one site -i am able to do it for more than 5000 - since i have to parse al of them..;-) Well - we see that there are three tasks.


a. fetching the pages
b. parsing them
c. storing the results in a database



for the first task we can use LWP-USERAGENT or MECHANIZE for the next tasks we can use HTML-Parser! For the third task we need some knowledge of PERL::DBI
