Drupal 7 auto update from data from table or?

Question

I am learning to make site with Drupal 7 and everything is fine and to my liking.
i have a script written in Perl which scrapes news from a website.

Now i want Drupal to (run the script if possible otherwise i can use server corn job to do it) update front page of site by making page or article from each scraped news.

I can always add data from perl to db, xml, csv or JSON file. It is just automation required. Please guide me to the possible solution e.g. if i need to write a script in PHP where and how should i include it in the Drupal or if there is any module you found helpful (there are lots of modules to search through but looking in the right driection which i am lacking).
thanks

You can use the feeds module to import nodes from a csv file. You can put the data you're scraping into a csv and have the import run automatically at a set interval.
