It depends on what you consider a "driver".
Consdering your recent postings, I'd rather not answer your question,=20
anyway.

You hire Randal Schwartz and then you sue him when he succeeds... : )
(Sorry, never read that FAQ before and couldn't resist!)

Subject: Viewing HTML source from URL
Message-Id: <Vldnf.30873$Ms6.1591@fe1.news.blueyonder.co.uk>
Hi there all,
Is it possible to view/process HTML source from an URL ?
my $html_file = 'http://www.mydomain.com/index.htm';
open(HTML, "$html_file") or die "$!";
while (<HTML>) { print; }
close(HTML) or die "$!";
The above doesn't find the file or directory which I suppose makes sense
my $html_file = '/path/to/document/index.htm';
open(HTML, "$html_file") or die "$!";
while (<HTML>) { print; }
close(HTML) or die "$!";
The above works OK but is not what I wanted !
Thanks in advance for help

Use the get function in LWP::simple. If you don't have LWP
installed and don't want to install, you can backtick whatever
fetch utility you have on your system or whatever browser with
appropriate flags (`lynx -source http://whatever`).

Yawn. Got some marketing job sucking on a Microsoft PR person's
whatever? Be sure they wear latex and you wear kneepads. Keep the blue
dress, though. It matches the color of your eyes.
Perl was a system admin tool developed by Larry Wall. Runs on lots of
systems and has a boatload of modules of stuff others have written for
all sorts of applications. I suspect it probably takes a lot less time
to implement something in Perl than C++ _and_ it runs on lots more
systems other than just Wintel.

bells ringing back to class! . . .

No. No. I don't go there.
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.perl.misc/browse_frm/thread/ccd0e0dce0d06af0/bad4ce66b32ddae2?q=bells+ringing+back+to+class&rnum=1#bad4ce66b32ddae2
I have a use for Perl, my use that I use it for. And, my use doesn't
involve such "replacement" as what you mentioned. (nor do I know how
to program C++).
Whatever software that you engineer probably does not call for the
use of Perl.
if ( $call =~ /no_call_for_Perl/ ) {
print "Do not use Perl\n";
}
