Perl Monks!

I am very new to Perl and am trying to create a script that will allow me to download my homework assignments off of my teacher's website for a specific day. He puts our HW on his website, http://staweb.sta.cathedral.org/departments/math/mhansen/public_html/1112hcal/1112hcal.htm. I would like to make a script that when given a date, finds the corresponding assignment and prints it in a blank text file. I am able to create all of the mechanics except for the copying the assignment part

I have been able to use LWP::Simple to find the text, but don't know how to make the script choose the corresponding assignment. Nor do I know how to print that into a blank text file. I don't think this is very complicated, but I'm really bad at Perl, so any/all help would be appriciated!
