Hi Meisamhe,
Welcome!
I'm going to be presumptuous, and assume that you mean one of two things: having a form on your web site, which has contact information that you want to then get locally, or having a spider-like thing that extracts specific kinds of data (addresses, phone numbers, email) from many websites. If you are talking about the latter, I can't help too much, because I haven't done that sort of thing (although I could pretty easily figure out how - but I'm sure many monks around here would be better).
If it's the former:
What you need in that instance, is a CGI script (there are a few out there, but they aren't hard to write either - that's how I started on the perl journey) that takes data from the form, and, say, either drops it into a file (maybe delimited) or emails it to you? Is that what you have in mind? With the CGI module, it's a very easy sort of script to write, and I could certainly post mine, if you are interested.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
