I've done things like this before using LWP and HTML::Parser or
HTML::TreeBuilder. This approach would probably handle what you are looking
for.
My current favorite tool for this kind of job is WWW::Mechanize, which
supports more advanced website traversal than just going to a single page.
Anybody else have a suggestion?
