You can get a scraping script up and running in 5 minutes, mate.
I personally like using a combination of cURL and XPATH. Both are available in any programing language, but here's two great articles for PHP.
If you want thorough explanation in a multi-part tutorial: XPath - Tutorial
If you want a blog post with code showing a working example: Scraping Links With PHP
Oh, and if you want a great Firefox plugin to test out your XPATH Queries on a live webpage to make sure they work, then look into Xpath Checker.
But yeah, Mattseh and Dhuck are good choices. Matt mainly works in Python and Dhuck in Ruby. I think Rage does his in Python as well.
