simple (I hope!) screen scraping script - pointers?

Hello - is vbscript a good way to go for this project?

Basically, on this page:

http://www.cityofbellevue.org/page.asp?view=38806

There's a set of links to docs. I need to:
1. get the text from each doc file (can perl work with doc files?)
2. then put all the crime reports into one text file, ordered first by

District, and then by Date.

Thoughts, help? I've used vbscript before, but I'm not sure it can
take a text file and order it the way I want.

thanks much!
Sylvia
