Script and HTML Form needed to run on unix webserver. Perl or PHP preferred.
Simple Form should ask for the URL for the XML Feed and a submit button.
The script should go get the URL and produce a file in the subdirectory /output/ and then produce a confirmation web page with a link to download the output.
Data File Specification:
A single TAB between each field. No trailing Tabs on a line.
Header Record:
Each of the field names below, tabs between.
Data Records
Take each product from the XML file (URL to be supplied, but sample attached)

Possible Future development with this too.
Any perl libaries used need to be advised. FTP access to server can be given, but no unix access. Happy for development to take place on your own machine before installation on my box.
