Here's what I've got...
A web based only DNS update tool at the service provider.

The Solution so far...

use strict;
use LWP;
use LWP::Simple;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use HTML::Form;
[download]

• I grab the login page, set the cookie.
• Pop in the username and pw, update the cookie.
• Grab the DNS update page with all the DNS entries
• Dump the hash using dumpvar.pl - too much extra stuff tho, looks tough to parse.

What I think I'd like to do...

• Dump the contents of just the one text area w/names/ips to a local file. This is where I'm needing help right now.
• Append the dumped DNS file w/a local file w/new sub domains.
• Read the contents of the updated dumped DNS file and pass it back to the web form.

Any ideas?
I can post the script if needed.

TIA
