This saves the returned data to files in Data::Dumper form that you can view with an editor, and it can reuse parts so you dont have to start at the beginning each time. But i used the big hammer rather than HTML::Form too.
I left in some commented stuff i might have otherwise used as comments. If you were logged in via firefox using cookies may pass you by the verification stage. What i got back changed based on my agent. If it were https and not passing CA check my bigger hammer method is to bypass checking. |
