Use LWP or LWP::Mechanize (depending on how much of that you want to write yourself) to get the pages, HTML::TokeParser::Simple or HTML::TableExtract (depending how flexible you need to be) to get the utilization numbers from the tables, and Spreadsheet::WriteExcel or Win32::OLE (depending whether you can write new or need to update existing) for the spreadsheets. Good luck, Ben I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother)

However, I can't figure out the security cookie format to allow it to actually fetch the pages I scrape. So I end up bootstrapping off of saved text files. Its still monkey work and I'd be OK with being dead just now what with how swimmingly all facets of my life are going.
