Probably a beginners question, but here goes: (Any help would be appreciated) I am using WWW::Mechanize to parse a rather complex HTTP 1.1 site. I have attempted to use LWP to no avail mostly due to the HTTP 1.1 meta refresh tags. After logging into the site and getting the opening pages, the additional POSTS are performed using JavaScript. I have captured the requests (proxy.pl) and know what I have to submit, but am unaware how to do a manual post with WWW::Mechanize. As the site maintains it's session with the original Mechanize object, how do I use this object to manually POST? I realize it inherits the LWP object, but am unaware the syntax to perform a POST command as opposed to a get or form. Thanks in advance.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
