Jeff Waughs' comments about web pages changing are very true, but
if you _have_ to 'screen scrape', I've found the following perl modules
very useful.

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);
use HTML::Form;

Tempting to apply for 50,000 ABN numbers (don't do this!)
