Look into HTML::TokeParser (or other module) to get the desired tag/data from the html document. Can't advise you on how to put it in a databse as that question is too broad in scope. Any particular database you are thinking of using?

I agree with Kevin with regards to HTML::TokenParser or one of the related modules. If you are going to interact with a database, you will want to look into using the DBI module. Regardless of which database you choose to work with, it can interface with it via its built-ins.

Also, when posting, it is a good idea to post the code that you have already tried thus far so that we can help you troubleshoot it and tweak it into a working state. That said, what have you tried?

Regards,

Jeff
