Hi monks! I'd like to post data to some form created using MS FrontPage. This form has a webbot section like this:
<form method="POST" action="../_vti_bin/shtml.exe/info/index.htm"> <!--webbot bot="SaveResults" startspan s-email-format="TEXT/PRE" b-email-label-fields="TRUE" ..... s-email-address="some@host.com" -->
I am not sure that usual
my $req = new HTTP::Request 'POST','http://www.host.com/_vti_bin/shtml +.exe/info/index.htm
shall pass all the data to such a form. Thanks.

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! —
