I have been developing with cocoa for more than a year. All

Well my requirement are like this,
I have a website that has a student information form. What I want to
developed is a program that reads .xls file and fetch the data into
the form on website. And all this should run in background.
I would appreciate, if someone provide some links to useful stuff, so
that I can start in this direction.
Well, for myself, I'd use Perl for something like that. The
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module can read the .xls, and WWW::Mechanize
module can connect to the target site, fetch the form, fill it out,
submit the form data back to the server, etc.
Perl obviously works fine in the background as a standalone .pl file,
but I'd use CamelBones to package it in a .app bundle and add a
progress dialog, because otherwise my reply would have nothing to do
with Cocoa. :-)
