Thanks for the replies. You did move me forward a little. There is a javascript that does what you suggest. Apparently when it is downloaded, it contains nothing more then data="some hash string". It is not a funciton so it must be executed when the page loads and thus the value of 'data' is established. So the question becomes, how do I "GET" that value?

I don't seem to see it in the data returned by "GET". All that shows up is the javascript tag. Does "GET" not include the source for downloaded javascripts (as opposed to imbedded scripts which do show up)?

As an aside, the reason I didn't include any perl code is because there isn't any yet beyond a "GET" and a "PRINT" of the page. I won't write any real code until I understand what I need to do.

Thanks again.
