well, the script is moo. I just consider it a scripting language, but it isn't going to be translated to much of anything easily.

Intact scripts I've come across identify the programming language used
in some fashion usually toward their top lines.  This particular problem
was solved by a script written in expect for the Linux environment a few
years ago and can be found in the expect package's documentation in the
examples section.  I can check perl.org and will really be surprised if
this hasn't yet been done for perl by now too since perl and cgi were in
use for this kind of web work for quite a while by now.

Tylor,
          If I have understood your requirement, you want to read data
from some other we page. Is it Right? If so, you can use CURL (libCurl)
library. I have used in PHP. I am usre that it comes in other languages
or some alternative will do. HttpRequest and HttpResponse Classes in
.NET will help as well.

Hello list,
I've seen a few scripts that will connect to a site, (weather
for example), send the zip and somehow parse the weather out of the data
returned.
Any pointers on where to get started? I'm totally lost here.
