extracting data from websites
|
|
|
| i need to extract data from websites, tracking the status of various
shipments. i'm aware of the LWP module but wondered how many other
modules may be useful. i've just glanced over the LWP documentation
(not in-depth at all yet) and i'm not sure if it will actually allow
me to pull the bits of data i want as well as other modules may.
thanks for any leads,
joe
