All the OP needs is LWP::Simple and HTML::TableExtract.

In fact, I wrote a whole script that took only 0.8 seconds to download
and parse a single page (of course, with more id's in a file, the only
real limit on the speed is the network latency and transfer speed) but I
have decided not to post it as I do not know what his intentions are.

As for you, pick a posting id and stick with it.

PLONKETY PLONK!
