ok. Heres is the site http://www.thebaseballcube.com/teams/team_32.shtml If you look on that site, it has prior years, like 2005. When you click that link it goes to another page that has a list of players. When you click on a player it has all there info. What I want perl to do is download that page for all the players for all teh years. thanks
