Hello,

I want to fill out and submit Html form (not manually) using Perl or
other scripting language if necessary. Html form is composed of
pull-down menu and can lead to another html form when submitting the
first one.
Is there a perl module to solve this problem ? Any idea or piece of
perl is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

you could use LWP, to read the first page then submit the results... etc

There is this web automation software called Newbie, http://www.newbielabs.com. It works great for automating web pages using scripts. Both IE and Mozilla Firefox are supported.

I use iMacros with Perl and it works GREAT and very reliably :top:

They even have a Perl tutorial from a Nokia guy on their website: http://www.iopus.com/imacros/tutorials/perl.htm

Also, you can post in their user forum at http://forum.iopus.com . I hang out there, too :tea:
