Is anyone aware of a Perl module, script, etc. which can perform an automatic download (similar to lynx)? So say, I want to download and process the contents of the excel file at the following site: http://www.census.gov/indicator/www/m3/adv/table1a.xls With Perls' ParseExcel module, I am able to read, process, and print out the contents of the downloaded excel file. However, I will love to automate both processes (i.e., using Perl, perform a transparent dowmnload, and then process the downloaded file). Any pointers will be very much appreciated. Thank you.. __________________ William Ampeh (x3939) Federal Reserve BoardThread Next
