Usage Notes for GarbageDay.pl


This program queries the Citizen's Information Services Web Page for Winnipeg, based
on an address given on the command line and returns the day and date of the next garbage pickup.

It uses the Perl Module Mechanize.pm to query the database.  This program represents an example 
of an "advanced" screen-scraper, one that actually goes beyond simply retrieving a page to actually
interact with the page, placing data in a form and clicking buttons to obtain the desired information.

This program is also featured in a new tutorial for those who wish to write their own screen-scrapers.
