Assignment

Using LWP::Simple and regular expressions, find and display the following information to the screen. Make sure all output has appropriate labels and is clearly readable. Do not display any “extra” information, such as HTML code. For the two parts that request user input, don’t worry about error checking unless it is specifically addressed in the request.

Specifics

1. The site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_North_Dakota lists the cities in North Dakota by population. Ask for a position and then display the city in that position and its estimated 2015 population

2. The IP number of your machine and host name of the machine. The information can be found at https://www.iplocation.net/find-ip-address

The match does not have to be case-specific. Display the team name, their wins, losses and ties. Display an error message if the entered text does not match any team names.
