I have a very specific task, and I am hoping to use Perl to solve it. I have 1500+ company name, city, and state information but I need street address. Therefore, I want to input the information to www.yellowpage.com and search for the street address and zip code of the company. I understand there might more than one result in the ouput page so I just need to store the first one. For example, on the yellowpage.com if I type KPMG and Los Angeles, CA, it will yield two results. I just want to store the street address of the first one, which is
355 S Grand Ave Los Angeles, CA 90071.
To begin, I am curious, is this a homework question? If so, we cannot provide you code for this as it is against this sites posting policy.
As for what you are wanting to do, I can say that I find the WWW::Mechanize module to be particularly useful when needing to interact with websites. You may want to check it out, unless someone else has any idea.
Thanks,
this is for a research project. If there are any codes that are very similar to the task I just describe, it will be very helpful. I just need any programing language which can easily implement it. It doesn't necessarily need to be Perl.
