I know how to use watir - it's great, but it's not the correct approach 
for this application - I want to request a page from a remote source and 
extract data from it - rubyful soup seems like the way to go, but for 
some reason I'm having difficulty with the code.  Watir is good for 
driving a browser - I'm not interested in that for this application

Thanks
