Hello All,
I need help! I'm totally confused.
I'm trying to access and list the forms available on a page using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox
$mech->get("http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp");
my @forms = $mech->forms();
my $form_obj ;
while ( ($index, $form_obj) = each @forms) {
print "[F$index] : ", $form_obj , "\n";
print Dumper ($form_obj), "\n";
}
# The $form_obj that is returned is a MozRepl::RemoteObject::Instance
# When i do a print Dumper on it, i can't see anything remotely useful. Everything appears to be describing the connection to Firefox, and i can't see anything to do with a form.
What I'm trying to do is print a list of forms available on a page and then allow the user to select the form in order to input some data.
I've tried googling for some examples of forms with Mechanize::Firefox and MozRepl::RemoteOjects but what i found was neither clear nor well explained.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
