in reply to Internet Screen Scraping

I am looking for a package that will access a website, extract the field names, links, & buttons.

Easy, peasy. Just install WWW::Mechanize and you're good to go! (As you don't seem very interested in discussing details, I'll trust you can work them out.)

Good luck!

    Thankyou sauoq! I have been playing with it for the past couple of days & appears to have what I need. However, I'm a dummy...I am looking to interact with the website. I have followed the tutorials but I am not getting the browser on the screen. I am missing something extremely simple.
