Need Help??

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,
I have a question concerning LWP and cgi links. I want to get on the site which the link refers to. I know how to write the LWP browser but what is the method that "klicks" on links? Or what parameter linke [submit => "submit",...] is it?

"../cgi-bin/hgTracks?position=chr3L:5281480-5281825&db=droYak1&ss=../t
+rash/hgSs_genome_29273_1116496720.pslx+../trash/hgSs_genome_29273_111
+6496720.fa&hgsid=42034877"
[download]

Thats the link I want to klick on with my script. Thank you a lot.

You don't want LWP. You want WWW::Mechanize. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]

LWP doesn't do that. You need WWW::Mechanize. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
