Hi Dan.
I've played with LWP before, and it worked okay.
Another option is to use the lynx web browser to fetch the page source.
As far as I know, lynx cannot parse XML, so you'd have to use a separate
XML parser after fetching the page with lynx.
More options for fetching pages are curl (the module) and curl (the
program).
Foremost among the XML parsers is XML::Parser; however, CPAN has many
XML parsing modules.
Hi,
I use WWW::Mechanize
http://search.cpan.org/~petdance/WWW-Mechanize-1.18/lib/WWW/Mechanize.pm
to get pages. I do some simple XML validation and manipulation in some
cases.
