I'm looking to create a webspider that submits and gets back data from an Ajax enabled website. I'd like it to run 100% out of my Perl script using 100% Perl.<br><br>
Is this possible? If so can you give me some hints on how it's done?<br><br>
I've scraped some sites that use a lot of java and it was basically decoding JavaScript and modifying POST/GET data. This isn't the same approach with Ajax, is it?<br><br>
I saw <a href=http://search.cpan.org/~lukec/Test-WWW-Selenium-1.13/lib/WWW/Selenium.pm>Selenium</a> demonstrated at YPAC::2006::NA and it can do the job. I'd like solution to be a UNIX only command line version using 100% perl if possible. My server won't have GNOME or similar installed.<br><br>Any direction on this would be greatly appreciated.
