in reply to Pattern Matching and replacement

Actually you don't really want to do it that way. You do want to use something like WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller off CPAN which fills in forms and submits them for you. Ready to go at a CPAN mirror near you. You will also need to read the docs for WWW::Mechanize base class to see how you submit the result of the form you filled in with the FormFiller subclass. A few dozen lines of code then take the rest of the week off! Gotta love CPAN

Modifying HTML with regexes is always a fragile solution. You need to use HTML::Parser if you want relaible parsing but as noted above all the hard work has been done for you already.....

    You could also look at HTML::FillInForm which will do a similar task as what tachyon mentions above. And please take everyone's advice and don't use a regex for this...
