Well, if you have worked on the problem (the code you posted doesn't show any attempt to search the contents of a web page), you should show us what you've tried along with any errors. Did your period of thinking and meditation include some research? A google search returns many results relevant to your question, including perlfaq9, which has many questions on the subject of interacting with web pages, and their associated answers.

Communication skills do matter, the ability to ask a question in a way which people can understand, being able to show the effort you've made and the resulting problems matters. Surely you've experienced this in academia, regardless which field you study? Each time you post there are links to advice on posting here, I won't repeat them, as you're new to Perl and PerlMonks I suggest you invest the time to read and understand:

Learn to filter out which posts merit a reply, and which are best avoided. I offer this advice for all forums, not just this one.

Update: fixed perlfaq link. Thanks anon.
