Yep. Look through WWW::Mechanize's documentation as it's a high-level module that automates web scripting. Also look at learning an HTML parser (like HTML::TreeBuilder, which uses HTML::Parser to build a tree structure out of the HTML from which you can traverse) if you need something more than a simple snippet you can get with regular expressions.
Finally, if you need more assistance ask a specific question here (although make sure you try whatever you're asking for help on doing first!) and pick up a book - Perl Cookbook is pretty popular and has an entire chapter on web automation.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
