Automate a search query from a website

Hi,

I am trying to automate a search query from a website that uses CGI
script to process the query.

I want my script to post a search query to a website, and then parse
the html result from the website back into an output file.

Could someone give me some direction on how to do this? Where should I
start? What tools should I use to do this job?

Here is the website that I am trying to post the query and get the
result back into a file.

Thanks.
