The points Randal made were:
1. Yahoo has URLs that return CSV files.
These are not web pages though the protocol
is http. The perl involved to get the data is not
specific to Yahoo in any way and the data you
get back is in classic CSV form. If Amazon
provide similar CSV links, then you'll be able
to do the same thing with those links.
2. CPAN has modules specifically designed
for Yahoo resources, be they web pages or
CSV feeds. A quick search of CPAN:
http://search.cpan.org/
shows lots of modules for Yahoo, and none
for Amazon.
