Web scraping beginner problem - help appreciated

1
Hi

I'm a relatively PERL beginner but would like to improve my PERL programming and have been requested to scrape phone prices from http://www.envirofone.com/default.aspx

I've scrapped a few other sites with success but this site is causing me problems.
is it to do with the fact that it's a .aspx site?

Thanks in advance

By using the LWP or WWW::Mechanize modules you can get data from a another website. Then just process that data as you wish.
