Web 2.0 made it easy to arrange meal delivery and nowadays your lunch is just a few clicks away. However, what if your favorite takeout restaurant, who has only a circa-96 static website, requests you to organize orders with friends and place order together via email?

This talk will cover how Perl helped us build our own online ordering system in a short period of time to interact with restaurant's site to show menu, scrape food images from other sites, take orders from friends and place order with the restaurant via email at the specified time.

The purpose of the talk is to show how we solved my problem and how Perl helped us and it will not go deep into technical details.
