in thread Trying to use WWW::Mechanize for aspx websites

I don't know how much it's necessary to worry about 'hidden' variables - unless you're wanting to manipulate them at any rate.

WWW::Mechanize is quite good about letting you ... well, 'do the same was you would on the page'.

Unfortunately, the problem here is that that page quoted is javascript. WWW::Mechanize doesn't 'do' javascript. (Although as it mentions - sometimes a form will work despite having ugly javascript obfuscating it) FAQ

    If you knew more what you were looking for in the site, I could help. I have had a lot of crawling experience recently and wrote a basic tutorial on www::mechanize for perlmonks a couple weeks ago
