Re: [MLUG] Accessing web pages in perl

[Marcus Semanek <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Well for one it wouldn't be HTML, since it has nothing
to do with HTML really.  HTTP maybe, well then there
are modules that are named HTTP allready and you could
do it with those if you wanted.  The HTTP modules
would definately point you towards LWP if you read the
manpages.  So see they are not that bad ;)
