Auto Web Surfing / Form Entry

[frznchckn]

I'm a novice Perl programmer but an intermediate coder in general and
am hoping someone can point me in the right direction on this...

Through an online interface, my cell phone provider allows me to enter
calendar events that sync with my phone. This has always been
pointless b/c I don't want to have to update my calendar app (MS
Outlook, Sunbird, Google Calendar, etc) and then also have to do it on
my phone calendar.

If I get a csv dump of my calendar, can I write a script that will
enter all the events into the web form for me?

Probably. You'll likely need Text::CSV and LWP.

Probably. You'll likely need Text::CSV and LWP.

More specifically, you'll most likely want WWW::Mechanize, which
inherits from LWP.
