in reply to By Passing

One solution (not quite perl):
find out what the names of the HTML form fields at the Yahoo website are (look at the source code), then generate your own HTML page with a form and some hidden <input> tags, naming login and password, and a submit button. Point the form to the location the original Yahoo form points to.

Should work, but: very insecure.

Hey,

Thanks for your response.

I've done that will other sites, but what if there is no action
in the form tag (i.e, <form>). I guess that what i'm trying to do
is to write a function or subroutine that will pass in the parameters
and submit the form. I don't know if this will be possible.

Thanks,
Kiko

      If there is no action in the form tag, there parameters are sent back to the same script.

        Which, by the way, can be pretty darn handy for re-using HTML amongst different scripts.
