Yes but I've to start from the beginning. I don't know too much about
NT and VBScript and I know very little on unix and perl.
But while I'll surely have to work with NT where someone for me has
developed an interface to a DB with VBScript and asp I'm not sure
I'll use perl.

Not exactly. This kind of thing is not permitted by NS and I think
also by IE
http://www.xxx.it/my.html
...
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
mynewWindow=window.open("http://www.yyy.it/your.html","pippo",
"toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0");
document.write(mynewWindow.document.links[1]);
-->
because the script in http://www.xxx.it/my.html is gathering
information of a document on another server.
So if I havent got access to http://www.cia.org (if it exist) I could
write a page containing words such Geddafi, Saddam, nuclear plans,
missles in a page hoping some secret agent come to visit my page and
then write something like this
<FORM METHOD=POST NAME="info" ACTION="/emailform.acgi">
<input type="hidden" name="T1" value="bomb">
</form>
...
mynewWindow=window.open("http://www.yyy.it/your.html","pippo",
"toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,height=1,width=1");
document.form.T1.value=mynewWindow.document.links[1];
-->
If for example the URL I have stolen contain a PW I'll have access to
some secret documents.
Of course my intents arn't of this kind I would like just to filter
information from another URL.

Maybe I can do this in Java but not with an Applet inside a browser
(same limitation as for JavaScript) but with an application.
Java has a lot of prebuilt class and methods to connect to the net
but I feel more confortable with C++, but I'll have to find the
libraries.
Of course I'll lose the portability and the possibility to use my
application simply having a browser.
BTW do you know some place where to find good libraries for C++?

I think I posted it to the list, but I've used the wrong email
address (form@ inspite of [EMAIL PROTECTED])
