I don't see any login options at cqweb. It might also be my Japanese is very weak so I can't recognise it. Moreover, LWP and WWW::Mechanize don't handle Javascript. Have you tried searching for similar questions? لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]

Thank you so much for replying. Currently i have access to a CQWeb server which happens to ask me to login and only then I can run a query. I have broswed the web for 3 continous days for something to help me with this however couldnt find any scripts for cqweb in perl.	[reply]

Maybe you noticed that some of the words in my previous reply are underlined, and potentially displayed in "blue". Have you clicked these so-called "links"? Did you search Google or DuckDuckGo? What problems did you encounter when attempting the solutions described in the search results?	[reply]

Have you read what the WWW::Mechanize documentation has to say about Javascript? Have you investigated the alternatives? Mechanize turns up some results.	[reply]

Thank you Corion for replying. I have gone through the WWW::Mechanize docs . With the help of that I tried achieving this but i only seem to get the source code of the login page .:(	[reply]

What other than source code (I guess you mean the HTML) do you expect to retrieve? If you need Javascript support, you should really read what Google or DuckDuckGo, or maybe even Bing tell you. There is WWW::Scripter, and there also are WWW::Mechanize::Firefox and/or WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS.	[reply]

Howdy Pav, welcome to the Monastery! Unfortunately, your question's a bit too general to answer. What exactly do you want to do? What have you tried? What isn't working? And how much will you pay us per hour for writing your code for you? :) Here's some tips and links on how to ask questions effectively (taken from my homenode): How to ask questions: Read the instructions ("Asking questions effectively", "Formatting your write-up" etc., below). Read the documentation. Show effort. Write some code; at the very least, try. Help is free; doing your job for you is not. Show us your code. Describe failures, expected results, and actual results. If applicable, show us verbatim (!) error messages/warnings. If applicable, give us some sample data. Give us the larger picture: tell us what you want to achieve, not just how you decided to go about achieving it. There may be better ways of doing it that you haven't contemplated. Asking questions effectively: On asking for help How do I post a question effectively? How do I compose an effective node title? I know what I mean. Why don't you?
