Description

I need someone to build me a web scraper [i.e. perl mechanize] that does exactly this --> [http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2003/01/22/mechanize.html] but with a windows based gui tool that should be very similar to p2p Guardian [http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/ ]


1. The tool is executed in windows, it asks you for url/username/pass as in the example above
2. The tool asks you how often it should check this website [default 5 mins]
3. You hit the go button and the checking starts untill you manually stop it or exit the application using the tray icon.
4. Every 5 mins the tool logs into the site, grabs the text and posts to the status field which is displayed in a row format with colums: Date/Time, URL,Response_Time, Found_Text [just like how Peer Guardian shows you current connections allowed/blocked ]
5. You should be able to view history just like peer guardian and see other day's found text
6. Must save the data into a $year_month.csv file format [I know sloppy but it'll do the job. no db]
7. Must Support http & https
8. The Code must be lightweight and well written
9. The interface should be as close as possible to peer guardian [cuz I find that very lightweight and clean. if you can make it cleaner and nicer, power to you]
10.The program should be able to run in the background and start with windows
11.Good CPU/Memory efficiency
12. Least number of install files [and $100 bonus if its done in one .exe file [plus the csv files I know]]
13. Should not require third party app installs
