monks,

I am using WWW::Mechanize for my inhouse project. Earlier I asked some question in WWW::Mechanize - Could not connect to a server and I got clarification from that node replies. Also there is a recent node which discusses about web forms in Submit HTML Forms with WWW:Mechanize. I picked up some code from there and used in my code, but I did not get any from names. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use WWW::Mechanize ;
use LWP::Debug qw(+);
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
#use LWP::UserAgent;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new ;
#my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$mech->proxy(['http','ftp'], 'http://proxy_ip_dress:port_number/');

 $mech ->get("http://application_ip_address:8082/root/Login") ;

 if ( $mech ->success ) { print "Connection Success ", $mech ->res->st
+atus_line, "\n"; } 
 else                   { print "Status :" , $mech ->res->status_line 
+, "\n"; }



my @webforms = $mech->forms();
print Dumper [ @webforms ]; # @webforms is empty

foreach my $form (@webforms) {
   my @inputfields = $form->param;
   
   foreach my $inputfield (@inputfields) {
      print Dumper [ $inputfield ];
   }
   
   print Dumper [ $form ];
}

If I try to get google page I am getting value in the webforms arrary. If I use my application URL I am not getting that. Am I missing still something in the code ? will there be any web page without web forms ? Just curious to know.



hmmm ....let me think what did I said
