I am using WWW::Mechanize to handle the scheduling of shipment pickup's through DHL/Airborne. I start with the following code:
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); $mech->get("http://sbw.dhl-usa.com/SchedulePickup/SchedulePickupInfo.a +sp?nav="); $mech->form_name("form"); foreach my $key ( keys(%form_values) ) { $mech->field($key,$form_values{$key}); } $mech->submit;
That automates the submission of This Form. The problem I am running into occurs when that form takes me to an intermediary form to verify all of my input. It takes all of the values I originally submitted and turns them into hidden form fields. All that I must do next is set the form to "form" and submit, again, and it would work. The problem is on DHL's end the action for form name "form" on the second page does not contain the first part of the URL so Mechanize thinks the script resides on my server... Is there a way to get around this? To manually specify the action of the form so it knows what server the document I should be submitting to resides on?
