use the LWP Module, it comes with the ActiveState Distribution. Unfortunately we won't be able to give you a detailed answer, unless you ask a detailed question. For Information on how to use the module and other Documentation have a look at c:\perl\html\index.html.	[reply]

The "best" module to access websites would probably be WWW::Mechanize. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

Depending on what you're trying to do, you could try SAMIE for Automating IE. Though WWW::Mechanize and LWP work quite well.	[reply]

"accessing or opening" websites? That's just a tad on the vague side! Do you mean you want to "BROWSE" websites? Uh, turn on a computer, dial up an ISP, open a browser such as FF or Moz or Safari or Konq.... Or, do you mean "SCRAPE" websites? Well, that's a different question; see advice elsewhere in this thread.... So this node offers a couple different answers: Work hard at making your questions unambiguous Read this ESSENTIAL guide to questions in the Monastery Read the docs, pods, html ActiveState provided which are likely in `C:\Program Files\ActiveState\...` if you did a standard install ...and please do not be put off too much by the curtness of this node. <semi-apologetic mode>It's hard to answer questions whose meaning one does not understand and a royal PITA to see users (especially those of your experience) fail to RTFM.</semi-apologetic mode>	[reply]
