Probably a beginners question, but here goes: (Any help would be appreciated)
I am using WWW::Mechanize to parse a rather complex HTTP 1.1 site. I have attempted to use LWP to no avail mostly due to the HTTP 1.1 meta refresh tags. After logging into the site and getting the opening pages, the additional POSTS are performed using JavaScript. I have captured the requests (proxy.pl) and know what I have to submit, but am unaware how to do a manual post with WWW::Mechanize. As the site maintains it's session with the original Mechanize object, how do I use this object to manually POST? I realize it inherits the LWP object, but am unaware the syntax to perform a POST command as opposed to a get or form. Thanks in advance.

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).
