Thanks, ikegami.

I tried WWW:Mechanize but could not get the extraction of inputs or images to work. I used the following code: 
#! /usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize -> new();

$mech -> get( 'http://www.merriam-webster.com/' );

for my $input ( $mech -> find_all_inputs() )
{
      printf $input -> name(), $input -> type(), "\n";
}    

for my $image ( $mech -> find_all_images() )
{
   printf "%-100s %s\n", $image -> image(), image -> tag();
}

I get error messages of the type
Can't locate object method "find_all_inputs" via package "WWW::Mechanize" at test.pl line ...
Any ideas why this is not working?

Thanks and regards -

Pat
