Why oh why are you trying to do this?

Why would you use an API to mingle with a GUI to then mess with an API again?????

Look, whatever site this is.. you should be able to use some perl API, for example .. . You wouldn't use http://search.cpan.org to get info about perl modules within a script would you? No, you would use CLI cpan or someting..

Whatever site you're thinking of, it may have a API for you right on cpan right the muck now.. Check out facebook, myspace... I think there's even a gmail, yahoo.. etc..

What I am trying to suggest to you, is that the login forms on the browser (the GUI (graphical user interface)) are just for human beings. And there may be something out there so you don't have to do this.. Which.. if you did.. would be through some WWW::Mechanize process... you can search for this on perlmonks. The best way is to go to google and search for: site:perlmonks.org WWW::Mechanize login
