There was a tool created by altavista R&D called "WebL" that I used on a
project. I think if you search around you'll be able to find it.
However, I think it has developed "bit rot" from not being touched in so
long. My old webl stuff will no longer work.
But what is it? it is a web scraping language written in java. Fast it is
not. Easy to scrape and interact with pages: YES. It has all sorts of
things for locating fields, locating table cells, etc. (I used it for
writing a prototype that would scrape a competitors site and import the
data into our application :)
but if it doesn't work LWP isn't _that_ bad. You will end up in regex hell
though.
