It's not exactly the same thing, but WWW::Mechanize is pretty good
for scraping and controlling websites. I've had a bunch of
experience using it to implement front-ends and data-suckers for a

Unfortunately, WWW::Mechanize doesn't have very good docs or
support. It's one of those back-burner ideas of mine to write up a
how-to article.
You can get it as a gem -- "mechanize".
The homepage is currently busted, but is usually at http://
