in thread automatic web query and writing files in a directory

There's always the drastic step of reading the docs for something like WWW::Mechanize, HTML::TableContentParser, sleep or somesuch yourself, rather than relying on Grundle to do your coding for you... Plus you'll be in a much better position to help yourself later on if something ever happens to Grundle (heaven forbid)...

HTH,

    I agree with you planetscape. I cannot, nor would I want to, write your code for you. All I tried to do is give insight into the process.

    Honestly if you cannot automate your process based on what we have given you, this may not be the profession for you. This something so utterly easy that is confounds me how it cannot be implemented now.

    You have two tasks -- retrieve the information from the web. You have been given the modules that enable you do do that. Now go read the documentation. The second is writing the files, which I showed you how to do. Good luck!
