Hi,

I am a perl newbie. All I want is to get any web page,
see if it has any form and fields (i.e. like username,
passwd) etc and post my information to it and get back the
response. I would maintain the username and passwd my database.

Thanks,
Madhu

That's fabulous. Do you have code that's not working that you
need help debugging? You should probably post it if you do (and
you should also read the Posting Guidelines that are posted here
periodically).

Have a look at the WWW::Mechanize module on CPAN.

Is there a perl question here?

Are you looking for someone to write you a script? If so, there are
websites and newsgroups dedicated to finding perl developers to hire.

What have you tried? What didn't work?

As has been said many times, this is a discussion group, not a help
desk. Show us what you tried, and we'll discuss why it isn't working.

Maybe you should stop replying like this and read the Posting Guidelines
yourself.

The OP just asks for pointers, and one can ask that without showing code,
see reply by Sherm.

If you have nothing to post, get a different hobby. Learn some Perl.

Yes.

Maybe the OP wants a reply like Sherm gave?

Or split a few more hairs.
