in reply to Linking Two Web Applications.
If you can get the cooperation of the "B" team, a better option would be for them to provide a web-service, that you can call from your server.
If that is not possible, I suggest do some background downloading (probably using Mechanize or other LWP flavour), save the info into a local database on the A server, and use that to populate info into your app.
This should make your app (A) more responsive and reliable, because you reduce real-time lookups on (B).
