I wrote up something like that a long time ago.  I used LWP.pm as the main parsing engine.  Unfortunately, that was several jobs ago, so I don't believe I have the source.

But LWP is a fairly simple module to use in perl, so I would recommend that you take this as a great opportunity to be introduced to perl.

perldoc LWP should give you enough guidance to get started.

>Is this list appropriate to ask help for something like this?  

Yes.

Not until you get to the point that you need help with the regex.
