I want to write code to interact with web pages using cgi scripts (a few fields to enter and a button to press for submitting). I've done a reasonable amount of C++ and Perl programming, but nothing internet related before. Any pointers to relevant help sources would be very appreciated, all I seem to be getting in my searches is how to do server side stuff, not how to automate the client side or interactions with the server.
