in reply to Get the address from a page

OK, take a step back and simplify.

I'm going to assume a lot of stuff here and hopefully give you a useful pointer.

Assumption 1: you want to store some information that you, as a user, and can read from a website.

Assumption 2: the information you can read is reachable on a single page, or URL, or is reachable from that URL by following ordinary links (i.e. <a> tags with a href property) and/or HTML forms.

In other words, you want to "click" and traverse a website, download pages and extract certain snippets of information from that site.

You want the WWW::Mechanize module.

Take a look at that module, and if it isn't what you need, please don't hesitate to clarify your specifications.

    Is there any module other than www::mechanize to do this? The HTML::Parser, which needed, doesn't work on my PC. It just doesn't work. Please see my another node about the Html::parser.
