parsing html data

dear all,

I'm trying to make a consult to a online dictionary from an html document, the
result of the consult has to be output in a text field of the same html
document.

I understand this can be done using (perl) cgi scripts but am not sure which
module do I need for that.

Any suggestions?

A number of modules around LWP can help you with it. WWW::Mechanize,
specifically, can help you with its specific method, content():

$mech->content(format => 'text');

Hi,

If the problem is to get dictionary translation, I think you should not wor=
k directkly with LWP or WWW::Mechanize.
Those modules provides convinient way to get the answer in HTML. This will =
force you to hack html files.

Altwernatively, you can use dictionaries that provides API like www.diction=
ary.com (and use the perl module WWW::Dictionary http://search.cpan.org/~co=
g/WWW-Dictionary-0.01/lib/WWW/Dictionary.pm) or even wikipedia (WWW::Wikipe=
dia at http://search.cpan.org/~bricas/WWW-...WWW/Wikipedia.=
pm).

You can manu more dictionaries in the cpan.
