Monks hello,
I've been trying to use the LWP module to automate POST. I've managed to get a response object and it looks like the POST has successed in writing the text I told it to into the proper fields. The problem is that it looks that all needs to be done now is to press the "Submit" button, which is a javascript submit function and i don't know how to interface with it. Looking at the HTML source I found that button and it looks like this 

<tr style="padding-top:8px;padding-bottom:3px;">

                                        <td colspan="3" style="padding
+-right:155px;">

                                        <a href="javascript:submitFina
+l();">

                                        <img src="images/buttons/b_sea
+rch.gif" border=0></td>

                                        </a>

                                    </tr>

Looking at the start of HTML i found that function, which checks a few conditions and if those are OK it will return a new page, the part that returns a new page looks like this 

document.forms.frmData.action="PhoneNumResults.asp"

document.forms.frmData.submit();

The purpose of my program is to recieve that "PhoneNumResults.asp" and procces it.
Please help

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":
