Hi,
For some reason I can access the page and submit one value into the form (the only one on the page) and then save the content to a file, but when I try to loop over an array of values, I get a POST error..?
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @date;
open(IN, "<c:/perl/scripts/dates/dates.txt");
while (<IN>) {
push (@date, $_);
}
close(IN);
use WWW::Mechanize;
foreach my $date (@date) {
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get( "http://bub2.meteo.psu.edu/wxstn/wxstn.htm" );
$mech->form_number(1);
$mech->field( 'dtg' , $date );
$mech->click();
$mech->content();
my $file = "c:/perl/scripts/dates/$date.txt";
$mech->save_content($file);
$mech->back();
}
