Thanks all. The information was very helpful. It turns out javascript is required after the login. There is a form that has an input element that defines the number_of_records you wish to view. The submit is a link with a javascript action that fires a call back. I'll have to figure out how to fill in the form input value and 'click' the link. update I'm going to pack this up. The mechanized ports to chrome and firefox support old versions. My old reliables, cpan install fails and activeware's ppm shows no module. I'm sure this can be done but it's over my head. I started looking at curl/php but I have no idea if I'll run into the same javascript problem. Thanks all. If in the future I get this going, I'll copy success here.
