anabelljc has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Here's my task: I have a website where there is a new piece of information (mostly numbers and graphs) posted every 10 days. Now I'm trying to create a perl script so that it can go into each of these websites (there are a few like this one), file->print->pdf print with 50% scaling, and save all pdf files in my directory...... I haven't begun my task yet and am searching for the right language that can minimize the manual side of the job. I have been a perl user for some time and to me it's the best language for text processing, but I don't know too much about this aspect of perl. Does anyone know whether this is doable in perl, and recommend me where I should start?
thanks.
