Consider using WWW::Mechanize to wrap up the LWP calls for you:
use WWW::Mechanize; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new; $mech->get($url_of_form); # NOT necessarily the target of the + post # -- this is page w/the actual fo +rm elements $mech->select('widget', \@values); # assumes you get the data from the + CSV into @values # see [fizbin]'s replay above for c +omments on %widget $mech->submit_form( form_name => 'name_of_form', # or use the form_number param # form_number => 3, fields => { # simply set the other form values +here: username => $username, created => '1126175051', } );
(Note you might be able to just put widget => \@values in the fields hash, too, but i didn't test it and doesn't explicitly say one way or the other in the docs)

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:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
