Friends,

I am trying to write a LWP script that I can use to download the search reults from Dice's Metor search page. I am not sure if my script has a problem or if Dice is just making it difficult (or impossible) for my script to work. Here's what I have so far. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
...

my $debug_level = 1;
my $ACTIONURL="http://seeker.dice.com/jobsearch/servlet/JobSearch";
getopts( "U:d:h" );
if ( $opt_h ) { &usage(); exit 0; }
if ( $opt_d ) { $debug_level = $opt_d; }

my $browser;

my $rc = do_LWPsetup( \$browser );

if ($rc==0) {
    die __FILE__ . "[" . __LINE__ . "] Failure: do_LWPStuff failed\n";
}

do_getSearchResults ( $browser );

sub do_getSearchResults {
    my $browser        = shift;

        my $resp  = $browser->post("$ACTIONURL",
                        [
                            'op' => '1000',
                            'METRO_SEARCH' => '1',
                            'rel_code' => '1102',
                            'metro_id' => '1',
                'secret' => '1',
                'FREE_TEXT' => 'Perl',
                'SKILLS' => "",
                'RADIO'  => 'AND',
                'RADIO'  => 'OR',
                'RADIO'  => 'BOOL',
                'AREA_CODES'  => '408',
                'TAXTERM'  => 'ALL',
                'SORT_TYPE' => "", 
                'REQ_TRAVEL' => '1', 
                'TELECOMMUTE' => "", 
                'SORTSPEC' => '0',
                'DAYSBACK' => '30', 
                'NUM_PER_PAGE' => '50', 
                'DETAILED_RESULTS' => '1', 
                            'HOTRESULTS' => ""
#                            'Submit' => 'HOTRESULTS'
                        ],
                        'Content_Type' => 'form-data'
                        );
    if (do_errorcheck($resp,"Search")) { return 0; }
    return 1;
}
