    There's this web page:

http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/SC.scan?s=TVD[T.T_EQ_S]![AS0,20,TV_GT_40000]![TH0_GT_AM1,260,TH]

It contains a table with information on stocks and I'd like to take
it, massage it, and eventually put it into a MySQL table elsewhere.


    I have a feeling that there's probably a Perl module that extracts
it and from there it's just a matter of working out a file format and
'slinging' it over to the web server.

    Anyone got an idea for how to extract this data? (Without all the
error-prone cut-n-paste, etc?)

I use Finance::Quote to extract all that data in my Perl scripts, which I got using CPAN.


If you aren't familiar with CPAN, we can help you get it set up, install the module, and get a sample script that uses that module, that you can hack at.

If it's too far OT, just drop me a note off-list.

Hope this helps,
Clint
