ok. i have a list of names (first and last name) that i need to automatically search for on a site called, for instance,
www.finestar.com.
on this site called finestar.com are search boxes where you can input the first name or last name of the person your looking for.
now, the list of names i have is quite enormous so manually searching for them on this site is virtually impossible or basically impractical.
enter perl
so i need to use perl to parse the list of names into the search boxes on the site called
www.finestar.com and pull out any reference to the names being searched for.
