Hey there, I'm trying out a script in perl language using Selenium Chrome Driver as engine. It's a fairly simple code but I got to a part that kept blocking my process for 2-3 days now and I can't seem to get around it. The script consists into logging into an online game account and opening the main page (it's pretty simple as I said, after all it's just exercises for me before I get the hand of it).

use feature ':5.10';
use strict;
use warnings;
use Selenium::Chrome;
use Selenium::Remote::WebElement;
my $driver = Selenium::Chrome->new;

my $a = 'email';              #write email here 
my $b = 'password';           #write password here
my $login_url = "link/login/";  #link to the website (link is a substi
+tute to the actual URL which was considered spam so i just wrote "lin
+k") 

$driver->get( $login_url );      #navigate to the website

my $name = $driver->find_element("//input[@name='mailAddress']");
$name->send_keys( $a );        #find and input mail address

my $password = $driver->find_element("//input[@name='password']");
  $password->send_keys( $b );    #find and input password

my $Login_button =  $driver->find_element("//input[@value='Login']");
$Login_button->click();      #find and click login button

So far the code is perfect. Now, after reaching this part the struggles started. After logging in an image appears with a ''My Page'' button. This button leads to the my page menu (duh) where I want my script to end at. The source code for the button is below:

<a id="enterBtn" class="push-motion0 js-onceLink" href="link/mypage?t=1pSX7e.3KXy.asX.2k42h.1klg0.280f08.H" style="user-select: none; touch-action: pan-y; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);"></a>

I've tried several things to get past this but I just can't get to navigate to My page and/or ''click'' the button. The thing is the http URL has a base part

"link/mypage?t="

and a token part

"1pSX7e.3KXy.asX.2k42h.1klg0.280f08.H".

The token part changes EVERY time you reopen the page so I CANNOT (or I don't know how to) assign the url to a variable like I did above since it gives me an error upon entering the expired link.

Instead I tried to SEARCH for elements containing the partial link text:

my $my_page = $driver->find_element("//a[@href='link/mypage?t=]");
my $href = $my_page->get_attribute("href");
$driver->get($href);
<>;

Also tried 'click' instead of 'get' with same result.

The script stops at the current page without navigating to "My page" menu. The error bellow appears in the .bat that I use to execute the command.

"Use of uninitialized value in substitution iterator at C:/Perl64/site/lib/Selenium/Remote/Commands.pm line 437."

I just can't seem to get past this element and finally open "my page" menu. It has something to do with XPath but I think I'm missing something (simple yet essential).
