how to get the table from a website and display

[ajay]

hi all,
http://www.startv.com/eng/op_ch_sch...nel_id=8&regionid=5&langid=1&SDATE=21/01/2004

I want to get this table/content and disply it/ or store it (or do
anything)

my question is hot to get this table/or any table ona web site by key
here what i understand is
key = schannel_id , value = 8
&
key regionid, value = 5
& date

how to do it in perl ?

my idea is to input the channel_id, region id and date and get the
respective table to be displayed.

Any detail help with code will be appreciated

AJ:

Not sure this is really a Perl question. Are you asking how to write
the cgi to post this data? If so you may be in the wrong place, but
the generally accepted method here is to use the good ole cgi Perl
module. And snag the data out of the field names in the form.

On the other hand if you're trying to get this table data from a
remote site, then try LWP::simple and parse it out of the text.

Huh?

It doesn't really matter what the site is using (except applets - LWP
doesn't do applets). If the site is rendered as HTML, then LWP should
work. There's even the LWP cookbook (`perldoc lwpcook`) to get you
started.

Put some code together, give it a try, and if it doesn't work, post again
(post as stated in our Posting Guidelines).
