Yes, this is possible, but sounds like a very roundabout way of going at it.

See the target="_blank" attribute for links and (I guess) HTML forms.

See WWW::Mechanize::Chrome for a module by me which allows web scraping and running of Javascript. It needs Google Chrome or Chromium installed though.

Forgive my being rep repetitive, but I wanted to make sure: My Perl script is on one machine and the browser (in this case Chrome) would be on another machine. So wanted to make sure it works that way. Or does the Perl script have to be local Chrome machine??	[reply]
