You need to explain more about your problem, because I don't understand 
what you want to do in detail.

For example:

1) "I have a URL to a perl script, like this:

http://example.com/somewhere/script.pl

and I want to download the script, run it, and collect the results."

Difficulty: (0 is trivial, 10 is impossible) About 2 or 3.


2) "I have a web page like this:

http://example.com/somewhere/homepage.html

Inside this web page I have a block of text that is actually Perl code. I 
want to download the HTML page, extract the Perl code, and run it."

Difficulty: (0 is trivial, 10 is impossible) Between 6 and 10, depending 
on the exact details of how the Perl code is stored.


Please explain in more detail what you want to do.

Where is the Perl code? In a script? Inside a HTML file? Mixed in with 
other text, or in a HTML element of its own?

Once you know where the Perl code lives, you can write a function to 
extract it. If you don't know where the code lives, you can't.

Once you have the Perl code, you can then run it using the subprocess 
module, and collect its results.

Once you have the results, you can store it in a database.
