Update: I'm using WWW::Mechanize. Other than Java support, is there much difference in the two? Here is my code:

        
#set initital webpage
$url="http://www.fedex.com/ratefinder/home?cc=US&language=en&link=1&li
+d=//Ship//Pack+Rates+Corp";
 
#open initial webpage
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();  
$mech->get($url);  


while($line=<ZIPPAIRS>){
    
    $indexForm2 = "standAloneActionForm";
    $mech->form_name($indexForm2) ;
    
    
    chomp $line;
    ($Ozip, $Dzip)= split("\t",$line);
print " $Dzip $Ozip\n";

    #enter the zip codes and package weight of 3 lbs
    $mech->set_fields(
    origZip => $Ozip,
    destZip => $Dzip,
    totalPackageWeight =>"3",
        );   

    $mech->click_button(number=>3);
            

    #print current URL's html code to file 2
    my $results_html = $mech->content;
    print OUTFILEB $results_html;

        die "All Done.\n";
[download]

nothing prints to the file. I had $mech->click_button( value=>'Get Transit Time'); in where you had suggested to try using the button number. When I try the button number, I get an error "Can't call method "click" on an undefined value..... Sorry, I'm not very good with the boards. I have only used them a few times and haven't been on in over 6 months.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
