Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all experts,

Please carefully read my question.. it's a request.

I have a html page in my server. Submission of this page will call a cgi that will connect another server and output will display in the browser.
I had gone through some of LWP modules, but i am not sure whether this could be possible or not.

Problem start with this....
Connecting to other server, i can pass userid and password for that site and two more parameters. After successful input, the display page contain a text box and a submit button. In that text field, i should paste the passing parameter and should take place the form submission. The submission will display another page, there we have to put last parameter and auto submission of the form. These process won't see the user... only final output will be displayed in the browser. That means, the cgi act as a console and only final output will be displayed in the browser. Is it possible to do? Without any permission from other server, can we do this job?
If there is any solution for this problem, which module should help?

I am waiting for lots comments and help from perl experts.

I hope you got my question.

Once again thanks for reading this question.

Regards, sk

    You might want to have a look at WWW::Mechanize which makes accessing HTML forms from within scipts easier. (If I understand your question correctly, that is.)

    Hope this helps, -gjb-
