Here is what you should do before you think of any more ideas for
scripts so as to be able make the best use of the potential help here:

1. Please read the posting guidelines for this group. The link is in my
sig.

2. Look at the table of contents of Perl documentation that is available
on your computer:

perldoc perltoc

3. Read the answers to the FAQ (all of them)

4. Read the documentation for all the functions Perl provides:

perldoc perlfunc

5. Read the documentation for all core modules.

These steps will ensure that you at least have some background.

Remember, for any exchange of anything to happen, both parties must
benefit from the exchange.

If you have nothing to give, you can expect anything in return, can you?

wget or curl is your friend. Don't make invent wheels, especially if you
don't know your shapes.
