Take a look at LWP

So ... what have you tried?

(Hint: LWP::Simple.)

Update: Please also get the gods permission to hammer PM - if it's a few odd requests, it'll probably be ok, but don't send dozens of requests in a short timeframe without their permission. You'll be using their bandwidth and CPU time to the detriment of, well, actual users. This goes along with the reason why Google has an API to use to do searches rather than allowing people to get their web pages programmatically.

You said that you were new to Perl, but I am not sure whether you are also new to programming. If yes, one advise: always checking return code from function calls like I did below:

use LWP::UserAgent;

use warnings;
use strict;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $res = $ua->get('http://www.perlmonks.org/');
if ($res->is_success()) {
     print $res->content();  
} else {
     print "Failed, " . $res->status_line() . "\n";;
}

Hi Kanishk

WWW:Mechanize will do this work.

use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $mech=WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get('http://www.perlmonks.com');
$mech->success() || die "$mech->status()";
print $mech->content();

And also take a look at this link Extract Web Page
