Hello Monks!
I am trying to submit some requests to a website so that I don't upload 1-by-1 (I have ~100 sequences to run), using the WWW:Mechanize module. But I can't seem to be able to find the correct page to put in my script. The tool I am trying to use is this one:
http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/MemBrain/. If I just put this:
        my $url = 'http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/MEMBRAIN/';
        my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new (timeout=>1000);
        $mech->post($url);

[download]
I get: Error POSTing http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi/: Internal Server Error. Same result using get instead of post
By looking at the page source, I see:
<form name="myform" action="/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi" method="post" onSub
+mit="javascript: return checkform();">

[download]

so I am thinking that my URL might be wrong. Any ideas how to point to the correct page so that it gets executed?
