Greetings,
I am trying to write a script that can post forms automatically without requiring a submit button press. I noticed that using GET instead of POST allows you to mimmic a submit press cause all the parameters are passed in the URL. Where are the paramters and values stored in a POST? Is there an easy way in PERL to mimmic a web browser through code?
What i ultimatley want to do and have done a bit is parse web pages extracting values then make a "form" in code and post it to a server automatically, then redirect the reply from the form post and parse it for some easy http link extraction.
Thanks for all your support and I hope this post finds you all well.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
