XML Import & HTTP Post

this may be very basic to some but all new to me

I have an application running on SCO Unix server which issues an HTTP Post request to a server with the results being returned in I.E browser window in XML format

I need to import these results into my customers application and dont know how to go about this, without saving the browser page, which is not what I want to do

what i'm after is the results of the HTTP Post being automatically saved into a file on the server in order that I can import the required fields into the customer application

any ideas much appreciated

For which language are you seeking help?

Perl has some XML parsing modules, so you can grep the XML results returned from the server, parse it with such modules and extract the results, with whatever approach (SAX/DOM/XPath) you prefer and save the extracted results to your application in whatever way you like.

Of course a command-line Java or C (or ...) application may do this too if you have the right libraries on hand.
