malomar66 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Everyone was so helpful with my last question that I'm hoping you can help me with a more complicated task. There is a government site called Edgar that has accounting statements on it. I want to be able to automate the process of visiting those pages and download all the pages for a firm. PERL seems ideally suited for the task.
If anyone could point me in the direction of existing (or help me write) code that could:
1. Get the table from a page like this one into an array.
http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0000051143&owner=include&count=40
2. At the bottom of the page, where there is a button for the next page, to go there (and any other nexts) and put that table in the array as well.
Thanks, Anthony
