That information is correct, but totally irrelevant. Mech has no support for JavaScript, but the server doesn't know that. If you wanted to actually execute some JavaScript code, Mech can't do it, but all you want to do is talk to the server as if you were a browser (with JavaScript), and Mech can do that.

There is nothing that JavaScript can make a browser send to the server that you can't mimic with Mech. The only hard part is figuring out exactly what the JavaScript would send, and using HTTP::Recorder with your browser (or using some other means of looking at the requests, like LiveHTTPHeaders) solves that for you.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
