I am pretty much in the same situation. I also want to write a script that
will parse online sources and combine it into one meaningful ( to the context
of things in general specific to me project) piece of information. So far it
looks like you are on the right track. HTML::TreeBuilder adn HTML::Element
should prove useful.
As far as books and script examples, I am searching for good recommendations
too. I believe there is a Camel book that has not been published yet which is
about CGI Programming with Perl.
