Hi Monks, I have a question, I am trying to use WWW::Mechanize to login to yahoo mail and get the contents into outfile. here is the script: my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); $mech->get($url); $mech->form_name('loginform'); $mech->field(login => $username); $mech->field(passwd => $password); $mech->click(); my $outpage = $mech->content(); open(OUTFILE, ">$outfile"); print OUTFILE "$outpage"; at this point it gives me the contents of the very first page in yahoo mail. now Here is my question: I want to search for the string for how many emails do I have from the outfile and store it in another file and print the final file which has information on how many emails I have. like for example when I open my final file it should have " You have 5 unread messages:" any sugegstions??? appreciate your help. Thanks
