Hello,
A small example that uses LWP to retreive the contents of a file from the web. It stores the web page content your looking for into the file 'temp.html', where you then can use it to your liking.
use LWP;
my $filenamex = 'temp.html';
open FH, ">$filenamex";
print FH get("http://www.thewebsiteyouwant.com/page_you_want.html");
close FH;
If you are looking to extract/parse information off that particular HTML page you want, might want to take a look at a module like HTML::TokeParser (I perfer using this, another popular one is HTML::TreeBuilder
If you really want to learn a lot about LWP and the many uses it has, I recommend purchasing a used book of "Perl & LWP" published by O'Reilly.
