Hi. I want to try to write a scraper/spider to get blogs about keywords (like Chardoney or Merlot) and then store the results in a database. I am not a good programmer at all and haven't used perl in a long time but it seems that LWP is a good way to do this.<br />
Is this the latest technology for this kind of task?<br />
Thanks.

Web Development

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
