Whenever I get a phishing email, I like to go to the site and fill in the form with some bogus and insulting values. Turning off Javascript in the browser usually makes it accept anything you care to fill in. Has anybody written an automated version of this with WWW::Mechanize? I'm not looking to mount a DOS attack, but I'd like to have it submit junk every few seconds for a hundred submissions or so. I figure it would help obscure the valid information that any suckers might have entered. (Yes, I do report the sites to appropriate authorities, as well.)

If it hasn't been written and I write it, would it be worthwhile to post it here?

Caution: Contents may have been coded under pressure.
