How do I download webpage and parse information using Perl
I need to produce a perl program that will display information from a website. I would like to have 7 columns: Date, Time, Name, Address, DOB, Officer(s), Location
The wesbsite the html information is coming from is: http://www.iowa-city.org/police/arrests.asp?charge=94000
This how I started the Perl program. If anyone could help me out, that would be great

my $columnTitle = ("Date, Time, Name, Address, DOB, Officer(s), Location\n");

Thank you, I have looked over the links and they are very helpful. However, could you maybe do an example either through psuedo-code or perl as how to obtain the first name from the table on website.
