Sorry Rolf, I am a bit confused. In my script, I write: `my $url = 'http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/MemBrain/';` [download] and, in the source of the page I see: `<form name="myform" action="/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi" method="post" onSub +mit="javascript: return checkform();">` [download] Do these two need to be combined perhaps somehow?

> Sorry Rolf, I am a bit confused. In my script, I write: 'my $url = 'http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/MemBrain/';' That's not the code you showed us. > and, in the source of the page I see: `<form name="myform" action="/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi" method="post" onSubmit="javascript: return checkform();">` you are confusing two things: the static page you open in your browser to see the form the CGI you can submit your form parameters to. Which one do you want to mechanize? I can't tell. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]

I guess this is where I am confused, as to what do I need to specify in the URL so I can force the page to run using my data. I thought it was enough to put: `my $url = 'http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/MemBrain/'; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new (timeout=>1000); $mech->post($url); #$mech->get($url);` [download] but it fails to run with the error: `Error POSTing http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi: Internal Server Error` or `Error GETing http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi: Internal Server Error` I even tried: `my $url=http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi`, still error...

Also, this one does not point somewhere: `http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/MemBrain/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi` --> `The requested URL /bioinf/MemBrain/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi was not found on this server.`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It's `http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi` for the form's CGI! ... but without submitted form parameters it'll only return an error. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]
