Thanks for the help! Mechanize looks like a great pm! I've hit a big snag I think. I can't get Mech to recognize the form. In the web page source code, there is no form name. They are using javascript to verify the data on the form for the login page. Perl can't find the form for whatever reason. So what are my options?

Also, what's an easy way to see if the program successfully made it past the login page and got to the next page?

I love it when a program comes together - jdhannibal
