Yah, this is pretty simple. Fetching the files to a local temp directory, parsing, and cleaning up is a piece of cake, and all done with a simple shell script (Perl, csh, sh, etc). Just watch that you don't create a security hole with your cgi-script. I am not on top of this, but evidently it is easy to create scripts that can compromise a webserver. The privilages of the user the script runs under is key here ... The use of cron jobs under Unix can automate the cleanup of a temp directory after things have been fetched and parsed. Good luck.
