Monk-E, everything that JavaScript does is client-side, so it has to send a request back to the server at some point, and you can just use Perl to mimic that request. If you want a solution that completely automates JavaScript in any situation then you need to make a script that parses JavaScript, which would take an enormous amount of time.
Instead you might,for example, download firebug for FireFox, right click and Inspect the Element of the particular button you're wandering about and see what address is being requested from the server, use regular expressions to isolate that address and then just have your script get() that address and continue.
He picked the perl from the dying flesh and held it in his palm, and he turned it over and saw that its curve was perfect in the hand he had smashed against the gate; the torn flesh of the knuckles was turned grayish white by the sea water. ~Steinbeck's "The Perl"

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).
