You can do everything you're looking to in Perl. Take a look at the modules for DBI (Database Independent module), HTML:arser, and LWP::Agent (programmatically grab a webpage and read it.

Pengo, it's not very clear

whygh, you can shell out to a perl script using the VB shell command, though you'll need to introduce a timed loop, sleep command, or some sort of "wait for completion" routine to ensure the perl process has time to complete before allowing the VB program to proceed and pick up the results from the perl script
