Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
O’ holly brethren and systers;
I am totally a newbie to this area, so I thought the best way to learn quickly is to take things step by step. So to start off with I need help to script these steps; fire Internet explorer application, then browse to www.google.com. Then in search field enter my search parameter (some text). Hit the "google search" button. And finally, gather the returned information into an array. Simple it may be, but this is the best way to start for me off with web based stuff. Because If I can achieve this then I could use the same script skeleton to achieve many other tasks that are more complex. At this stage I am not sure which module to use (HTML::Parser or HTML::Form, or shall I use php or stick with perl...etc)I prefere Perl but would also like to learn php. I, also can’t find any code examples that fits the above to work on. Your help and suggestions are highly appreciated. Many thanks.
