Hi all: I could use some help in submitting a form using perl. Here is what the HTML page and my code look like: 
<script language="JavaScript">
function submitScreen(actionStr)
{
  document.verify.action.value = actionStr
  return true;
}
</script>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="center">
<form  name="verify" method="post" action="../download/download.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="abort">
<input type="submit" name="Continue" value="Yes" onClick=submitScreen(
+"continue")>
<input type="Submit" name="Abort" value="No" ></td>
</tr>

[download]
Here is what my perl code so far looks like, but I'm not getting the page I want. 
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $req = POST 'http://companyname.com/Customer/support/Patch/releases
+/ClientDownload/download/download.asp', [continue => 'Yes'];
#$req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$req->content('match=www&errors=0&action=abort&continue=Yes');
my $res = $ua->request($req);

if ($res->is_success) {
    print $res->content;
  if ($res->content =~ m/no software is available/) {
    print "Did not get desired page\n";
  }
} else {
  print "Bad luck this time\n";

[download]
If my code was working correctly, the page presented by the server would have a set of links to files available for downloading. My intent is to monitor this page and start a download followed by an automated install of the software, followed by an invocation of my automated tests. AdThanksVance
