( #3333=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
You need to first break this problem into steps:
  • Get the data: For this you probably want to look at LWP::Simple and then use loops and regex to parse each page.
  • Store it: Use DBI for any database you like (under unix mysql is a decent and free system).
  • Receive querys: CGI.pm is the way :)
  • Look at the data: Go back to your database in step 2, you may need to learn some more SQL if you don't know it.
  • Display results: Something like HTML::Template would be nice, but there are many other solutions for this step.
See what you can work out for those and then maybe come asking for furthur help on specific items.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
